Refuge — Gillian White

Shelley loves her kids passionately, but Joey, her eldest, has always been a problem. She has defended him through all his misdemeanours, but when he is involved in the death of a young baby, she is distraught. When the authorities send her and her family to the Boltons' remote farm, they find a refuge. But many families have come to the Boltons' farm, and not all of them have left it.
