Angel Hill is home to The Lonely Man, the Ash Wednesday killer, and who knows what's going on at the Mertland Childrens' Home. But for twelve-year-old Frank, the only evil he fears is his mother's new husband, Terry.

Frank's only confidant is a stuffed animal named Jack. But like Jack always says, "What do you need friends for, you've got the best one ever right here." Jack the Lion is a solitary story for the lonely, the story of one boy's abusive childhood at the hands of one who's job it was to protect him-and the story of the one who finally did. C.
