"This book is based on a true story"--T.p. verso.

"Called to his dying father's bedside, Gabriel Golden's life is turned upside down after receiving his mother's journal. The journal chronicles his mother's life in post-war Britain, her genteel upbringing and her eventual marriage to Gabriel's father, a complicated man raised in an aggressive, Jewish family who drinks to escape financial worries. Gabriel is shocked as the novel reveals dark secrets about his parents' relationship, shaking Gabriel's preconceptions about his father - and himself. Based on a true story and winner of the H.R. Percy Novel Prize and the Beacon Award for Social Justice, Turn Us Again is a powerful exploration of the dynamics within family relationships, enticing the reader to embark on a journey towards a more complex understanding of the issue of abuse."--Fernwood Publishing.
