Daniel's unconventional family pyramid is more complex than ever before. The four children are now into their teens so their side is becoming more volatile. Lauren is comfortable and content in her role as the central point and Bonny is as upbeat and bubbling with sexual energy as ever. Daniel is struggling with the lack of drama in his work and with the ongoing after-effects of his physical trauma. During this working holiday with the family in Rome, extreme drama will come at the Dawes from an entirely unforeseen source.

Beloved-Brigitte and a cat with issues called Bobby, share his life here. David Rory O'Neill has written fourteen novels and more are bubbling and brewing.
