When devastating news hits, just as you are adapting to your life as a young adult, you may struggle to cope and consequently handle situations poorly. But then life slowly takes on a feeling of normality, you accept things for what they are, you fall in love and you become a better person for the trauma. As Keegan Devlin, a young man growing up on a council estate in East London, faces the news of his best friends terminal condition, he reacts and not initially in a positive way. But his strength of character and ability to focus on the positive aspects, with humour and a deep sense of responsibility, carries him through. Meeting Emily he transforms his life and makes a bold decision aiming to give them a future. These are the early years of the 1980s and with new positive attitudes and opportunities for everyone in the UK, anything is possible. His friend is still battling, and against all the odds, is winning against his illness. But then War! The Falkland's have been invaded and Keegan, as a member of The Parachute Regiment is part of the task force sent to recapture the islands. If fighting battles in terrifying conditions was not enough for a young man to cope with, events happening back in the UK will have profound life changing consequences for everybody. A novel that builds slowly, reflecting the way ordinary people deal with not quite so ordinary subjects, explodes on one fateful night in April 1982. Their lives will never be the same again.
