His early childhood was chaotic living with his single drug-addicted mother. Repeatedly taken into care & lodged with foster-families the boy grows up angry distrustful & disturbed. All he wants is to be back with his mother but every time the authorities allow that to happen she quickly falls back into addiction & he is separated from her yet again. Finally aged eleven Daniel is sent to live with Minnie an experienced foster mother who runs a small farm in Cumbria. Minnie too has been scarred by tragedy
- her daughter & husband are dead
- & now she devotes her life to helping damaged children. At first Daniel hates her & her farm. On his very first evening there he pulls a knife on Minnie as she prepares supper but is confounded by her calmness when he threatens her. Arent you scared? he demands. No love & if youd lived my life you wouldnt be scared either. Now get that last tomato chopped. Minnie it turns out is to be Daniels saviour. With endless patience she coaxes out the child who hides behind Daniels defiant aggressive mask & shows him the love he has been desperate for all his life. So why as the grown-up Daniel fights to prove Sebastians innocence does he now hate Minnie? Why has he banished her from his life? What was the great betrayal he can never forgive her for? Sebastian Daniel or Minnie
