By 24 Will Boast had lost his entire immediate family: mother, little brother, and then father. Sorting through his father’s things he comes across a secret. His father had another family. Flowing between past and present this beautiful and moving memoir is filled with grief, humour, and wonderful remembrances of those he loves.
