A young boy's life in post-war industrial Yorkshire and events that scar him. Unseen, he's a witness to something he doesn't understand. Through a gap in a door just a matchstick wide. He sees too much, too young. When rage lets rip, and innocents suffer, and the world bleeds. The victim only a slight thing to the world but she should have counted. Her thoughts should have been allowed, her value become known, her voice heard, her hopes and dreams realised. She should have been allowed a place to grow. But she couldn't come out and play. The reasons why, she can't explain. Others can, and she leaves it to them to do that. She leaves it to their voices and words. They will tell you themselves. Her mother and father, and brother. They tell you in their own words what happened to her. And what happened to him, and why. All the reasons why. As he learns from everything ahead. Until the day when questions are answered, all is explained and wrongs are made right.
