The Girl in Jack's Portrait

The vagaries of life can take people in all sorts of unexpected directions. Take barrister Callie Martin, for example, struggling to cope with a vocation she doesn't fully understand or enjoy. Or Edie Paignton, about to lose the one thing that is closest to her heart. Or soldier Jamie Rutherford who encounters the girl of his dreams only to see her disappear into the crowd. Not to mention architect Ben Rutherford, still coming to terms with the loss of his wife or businessman Erik van der Waals, whose studied sophistication hides deep-seated resentment. And what about mental health nurse Sarah Adhabi who finds hidden
strengths when confronted by emotional turmoil?

Six people seeking an escape from their pasts; six people seeking redemption in the present; six people who find their lives interwoven and their secrets revealed.
