I am completely enthralled by Alex Marwood's THREE GENERATIONS OF SECRETS! Social worker Kit Goddard is determined to uncover the truth behind Sandbeach Child Services' apparent negligence towards an injured seventeen-year-old boy, just as they had let down her brother ten years earlier. Since receiving the referral, it has been passed between departments, with her manager Georgia and colleague Tim dismissing it as a low-risk, low-priority case.
