Devil's Choice (Old Balmain House) - 9781981690671

Old Balmain House family story moves to the next generation A man sits at a table in a prison cell, hands shackled. The door opens. In comes a slip of a girl, eyes darting around, face drawn and white. She is small and slender, like a teenager, but seems older. The man leers with desire - so long since he has seen a pretty girl. "Well, well, look what the fairy godmother has brought to pleasure me." The girl recoils as if struck, then steadies and sits down facing him. She stares at the man intently, mixed loathing and desperation in her eyes. She wrings her hand together then holds still, as if to gather courage. Finally she speaks, "Please, I need to know if you are my father?" Two decades pass. Lizzie's daughter, Catherine, has a child, Amelie. But soon after Amelie's third birthday, the unthinkable happens. She gets sick: the unspoken word is 'CANCER', childhood leukaemia Treatment fails, it is all to no avail, a little girl's life hangs in the balance. A bone marrow transplant the last chance - but no match, no donor is found. Could another relative help - perhaps her father, aunt, uncle or cousin But who is Catherine's real father, the man who raped her mother. Three men were there that night; one is murdered, two are in jail. She must ask for help from these monsters who abused her mother These men are hardened criminals - she must visit them in prison. She cannot bear to ask, to beg them and plead for help, But yet she must try - it is her daughter's only chance. It truly is a Devil's Choice
