Title Details

From the depths of the underclass, Billy McErlane struggles to find his way to a better life. Involvement as a gopher in a drugs gang he never meant to join leads to a life sentence for murder and the apparent death of his dreams, but the Prison Education Officer uncovers in Billy an unsuspected talent. Released on licence, he falls in love—but Billy has never held onto anything good and he doesn’t now. Then into his life comes Dillon, a four-year-old with a background as unpromising as his and, for the first time in his life, someone needs him.
