Ben Jewell has hit breaking point. His ten-year-old son, Jonah, has never spoken. So when Ben and Jonah are forced to move in with Ben's elderly father, three generations of men - one who can't talk; two who won't - are thrown together. As Ben battles single fatherhood, a string of well-meaning social workers and his own demons, he learns some difficult home truths.

Reviews
Reading Group review. It stirs up many mixed emotions - frustration and anger; horror; pity and sympathy; dislike. Quite an amazing story and well worth the read.
