    About this ebook

    After he loses his parents, William Cahill retreats into a world of his own and his life would have spiralled out of control if it hadn't been for Aunt Augusta. She drags him back from the brink and transforms his life and that of his siblings, but Augusta Cahill is no ordinary woman. She might be dreadfully wealthy and a pathetic old socialite, but she can be a force to be reckoned with. A story about life, death, and suffering on the home front, a place that can be as perilous as a battlefield.
