Al Campbell The Keepers Paperback Book

Jay is devoted to the care of her teenage twins who view the world as differently as it views them. Frank is sweet, sensitive and bullied, while whipsmart Teddy needs an iPad to speak. With an absent husband and battling a nightmare bureaucracy, Jay leans heavily on Keep, her lifelong halfreal friend. But in the corner of her eye lurks her mother, and a childhood Jay knows she cant ever outrun. Jay believes she is managing quite well, with a halfgrip on this halflife of hers. That is, until Teddy starts to get sick, refusing to eat, while doctors refuse to listen, confounding everything Jay thought she knew about what lies ahead. The Keepers is an incredible and fiercely honest novel about the damage done by parents who cant love, the failures of a community that only claims to care, and the resilience of those whose stories mostly go untold. | Al Campbell The Keepers Paperback Book
