Book
Go Tell It to Mrs Golightly
Joe Dodd agrees to take in a granddaughter he has never met for the school holidays after a telephone conversation in which he senses that the family is deliberately withholding something. His questions are met with evasive answers, leaving him to prepare for a child he knows almost nothing about.
The girl’s arrival forces Joe to confront assumptions formed before he has even seen her. What begins as an awkward temporary arrangement becomes a family story about communication, pride and the damage caused when adults try to manage difficult truths through silence. The tension comes from discovering what has been left unsaid and how the new relationship changes everyone involved.
