The Stowaway - E-book - ePub

Liam Wright is different from the other boys in his family. The youngest and smallest, he dreams of a university education, not a lifetime of backbreaking labor at the Southampton docks with his father and four brothers. Liam's mum Mary believes in and encourages his dreams. A devastating incident on Liam's 12th birthday sends Mary to the hospital in early labor, resulting in an emergency surgical procedure following the delivery.
Before long, Mary becomes gravely ill. A shocking discovery soon takes Liam on a voyage that will dramatically alter the course of his life forever. Liam's coming of age story explores the complex nature of relationships, choices and their consequences, and the power of hope.
