âÇÖA mother canâÇÖt wipe away years of love. I just canâÇÖt do it, no matter what heâÇÖs done.âÇÖThe Good Child is a compelling story of two very different women: 72-year-old Lucille, with a hidden tragic past, and 30-year-old Quin, whose ambitions lost her everything. Everyone hates Lucille for what her son Tom, did and she canâÇÖt blame them. HeâÇÖll probably go to jail. SheâÇÖs to blame too - she ignored all of his faults - perhaps even encouraged them. She never wanted him in the first place. But that wasnâÇÖt her first mistake. SheâÇÖd ignored her grandmotherâÇÖs warning that if she married the man she loved, her life would be a disaster. She was right too. Now LucilleâÇÖs on a train with no money and no home. All sheâÇÖs left with is a blind overprotective love for her son, but even that is now pushed to the brink as she comes to terms with her actions and those of TomâÇÖs. Quin worked for Tom and knows exactly what heâÇÖs done because she helped him do it - she turned a blind eye to the corners he cut and the lies he told. Now, sheâÇÖs lost everything and itâÇÖs her own fault. She wants revenge.Then she meets Lucille on the train and finds herself facing her past and her future.Rich in detail and epic in scope,áThe Good Childáis a powerful novel of emotional and financial resilience, loss and unexpected friendship.
