Fallen Eagles: Rites of Passage

Written in aid of the Huntington''s Disease Youth Organisation (HDYO), with a foreword from Catherine Martin, CE of the HDYO. The title story, Fallen Eagles, is a Hamlet-inspired story about a Scottish boy who loses his idolised mountaineer father in an accident and blames his uncle to such an extent that he contemplates murder. Other stories take us to the French Revolution, the First World War and to more contemporary situations such as coming out, shaking off the parental yoke and exploring old and new love. Each story explores the diversity of young people''s experiences as they emerge into adulthood and the wide-ranging themes are both contemporary and relatable to the modern reader. See more
