Innocence - Gavin Corbett

Jerome Morris hasn't realized yet, but people want to help him. When his father dies of cancer, Jerome makes every effort to carry on with life as if nothing has changed - go to school, see his girlfriend, enrol on school trips.
But things have changed...
There's just him and his brother Gary at home - two boys, one household and a vacant role to be filled. Jerome wants it filled by Patricia, the mother who left him when he was a baby.
Warm, insightful and beguiling, INNOCENCE is the story of a young man's struggle to cope without his parents. In a life that seems to be spiralling out of control, Jerome finds himself on a journey for something, or someone, to make sense of it all.
