Turn Us Again

Called to his dying fathers bedside, Gabriel Goldens life is turned upside down after receiving his mothers journal. The journal chronicles his mothers life in post-war Britain, her genteel upbringing and her eventual marriage to Gabriels father, a complicated man raised in an aggressive, Jewish family who drinks to escape financial worries. Gabriel is shocked as the novel reveals dark secrets about his parents relationship, shaking Gabriels preconceptions about his father and himself. Based on a true story and winner of the H.R. Percy Novel Prize and the Beacon Award for Social Justice, Turn Us Again is a powerful exploration of the dynamics within family relationships, enticing the reader to embark on a journey towards a more complex understanding of the issue of abuse.
