All the Way Home

A heartfelt novel of second chances from the author of the beloved international bestseller My Name is Leon. 'He'll have to start his life again and from less than scratch.' When Leon walks out of the prison gates, he has no place to go except to his not-quite foster mother's. Syliva has been storing his former life in black bin bags, and a taped-up box that says 'fragile, this way up'. With too much time on his hands the past starts to resurface: memories of broken-hearted Tess who loved him, his damaged mother, Carole, and worst of all, the loss of his brother, Jake, something he never got over. But rebuilding his life is not easy. The only jobs he's offered put him face-to-face with a past he'd rather forget, and could mean he ends up in a whole new world of trouble. From award-winning author Kit de Waal, All the Way Home is a tender and deeply felt story of the courage it takes, when there's no one in your corner, to begin all over again.
