Welcome to Litsy!

"Abandoned in Hobart as a baby, Jimmy Monaghan has been pushed around in a succession of foster carers until he is finally sent to the Meander Valley where he is taken into a home for lost and unwanted boys. Having fought in the Great War, Eric Kingston returns from France to Tasmania bearing physical and emotional scars. Three years on from the butchery of Ypres, Flanders and Somme, he is Superintendent of the Home. Within this setting, beneath the backdrop of the Great Western Tiers, the man and the boy come to terms with their past and forge a shared path towards redemption. But before Jimmy can realise the happiness he seeks he must be free of a malevolent force at the Home."--Back cover.
