Tabitha. Tab. A feisty, confident fifteen year old who has been raised since birth by single dad, Adam. A typical teen; outspoken, messy, glued to her smartphone, listening to music and constant messaging.
Out of the blue, her mother makes contact and, against Adam’s will, Tab determinedly leaves for a short stay with Helen... where her secure world is turned upside down. How does Tab deal with the truth of her story?
A look at the spectrum of parental love. Three intertwined stories by local writer, Kerry Drumm, told with warmth, humour and love.
