Megan Walsh is running for her life, but only so that she can end it as she chooses and not by the hands of them.
She escaped her children's home after being raped by one of her care workers only to be found by Jo, the one adult she once dared to trust. Jo learns that Meg is the victim of a Child Sexual Exploitation gang, whose tentacles reach far and wide within the police force, social care and all the way to Parliament.
In a gripping race against time. Meg fights off terrifying flashbacks while attempting to identify her attackers before they can find her and silence her forever.
Meg suffers from severe mental and physical repercussions of her abuse whilst struggling to trust Jo and her husband. Then, when their children come home from university at Christmas, Meg has to deal with an added layer of chaos, surprising hilarity, mood-lifting laugh-out-loud moments, and something she has never known, a family.
Paradigm is a fast-paced, character-driven, edge-of-your-seat story that has the reader guessing, until the very end.
Trigger warning: The book contains one detailed self-harm scene, along with recounts of sexual assault and flashbacks.
