About this listen
How far would you go to protect your child? Can you really keep them safe? What if who they are puts them at risk? And what if they have blood on their hands?
Teenager Allie Kennaway heads off for prom night, cheered on by dad Steve and her little sister, Teagan. But Allie never comes home, beaten to death in an apparent hate crime because of her transgender identity.
As police investigate the brutal murder, a crime that has appalled the country, one parent is at her wits' end with her son's behaviour. Are his outbursts and silences hiding something much darker than adolescent mood swings? And if her suspicions are correct, then what does she do?
Another parent will fight tooth and nail to save his boy from the full force of the law. After all, blood is thicker than water, and everyone should look after their own. But if he succeeds, then Allie and her family will never get the justice they deserve.
A groundbreaking story of love and hate, loyalty and betrayal, in a world of change.

Transgender awareness
Recently a young transgender teenager was murdered in the UK. Trans women worldwide have a right to feel safe. This is a poignant story. The only thing missing was perhaps a stronger statement about how scared Ellie must have been and how this would have been the very thing both she and her parents would have feared since the day she came out. Apart from that the author has tried to capture the emotional fallout and also the bigotry of hate crimes. A gripping and worthwhile read.

Deepened awareness of transgender issues
The story kept me enthralled, the issues around racism, toxic masculinity and intolerance were wound into a murder mystery. The author was able to paint an authentic picture of family issues including grief. Although I had to slow the pace of the audio book to decipher the accents of some of the characters.

Hard to Listen to
Very hard to listen to and keep up with the story. I should have read the book.
