- Book Synopsis
- 'A book that reaches so deeply into the human experience that to read it is to be forever changed' ELIZABETH DAY One night in October 2015, twenty-year-old Morgan Hehir went out with friends and never came home. In the aftermath of his funny, talented son's murder, Morgan's father Colin began to keep an extraordinary diary. It became a record of his family's grief, the ensuing trial, and his determined quest to uncover the shocking truth that the police had kept hidden. Inspired by this diary, About A Son is a groundbreaking work of creative non-fiction that asks vital questions about the nature of justice and pays tribute to the unbreakable bond between a father and son.
