Will McCloy

Before I Slip Away Will McCloy

Jack Lindsay is a ghost. Well, he tries to be. Battling anxiety, shame and the guilt of an accident that nearly killed his best mate and sent his dad bankrupt, Jack is at a new school and trying hard to deal with his nightmares and successfully lie about taking his tablets.
Which is going okay, all things considered, until he meets Bart.
Bart's gotta be at least 70, and he's definitely a drunk, but this chance meeting awakens something in Jack that he has been hiding for too long.
Which is really no excuse to engage in a kidnapping.

BEFORE I SLIP AWAY is a novel about personal and social connection, finding the courage to confront your past and the strength to shape your future.
