| Summary: | "Stevie comes from a long line of people who have cut and run. Just like he has. Only he's not so sure he was right to go. He's been to London, taught himeself to get by, and now he's working as a laborer not so far from his childhood home in Glasgow. But Stevie hasn't told his family -- what's left of them -- that he's back. Not yet . . . . Moving between Stevie's contemporary Glaswegian life and the story of his parents when they were young, The Walk Home is a powerful novel about the risk of love, and the madness and betrayals that can split a family. Without your past, who are you?"--Book jacket. |
