Beskrivelse
A young woman, Catherine Goggin, escapes a scandal in her hometown while pregnant and alone at sixteen. Meanwhile, Cyril Avery, adopted and feeling like an outsider in his family, embarks on a journey to find where he truly belongs.
A poignant tale of identity, belonging, and the search for self amid life's challenges.
Catherine Goggin is forced to leave her hometown due to a brewing scandal, finding herself pregnant and alone as a teenager. With little choice, she places her child in the care of a nun, hoping for a better future for him.
Cyril Avery, on the other hand, is constantly reminded that he is not a "real Avery." Adopted as a baby, he has never quite felt a sense of belonging with his family, who often treat him more like a pet than a son. Despite this, it is all he has ever known.
His story unfolds as a heartfelt and often painful search for identity and a place to call home. Driven by the difficult circumstances around him, Cyril is pushed toward a chance at salvation. But when that opportunity arises, will he find the courage to embrace it?
