The Center Cannot Hold

The Center Cannot Hold

A junior journalist travels north to bury his grandfather — a Spanish Civil War volunteer, Blitz survivor, and founder of a charity that has lifted thousands out of hardship — and, commissioned to write the great man's story, opens the journals left behind in his locked study. What he finds there is a secret kept for seventy years: a truth that would right an old wrong, and destroy everything the old man built to atone for it.

Book Cover Illustration and Design

Book Cover Illustration and Design

It is a story about what happens when the part of you that was built to survive finally gets to rest, and the real you gets to drive. The book is built around three parts of self: The inner child: innocent, wounded, small. The original self and the one who needed love and protection and did not always get it.
