"This is not a time for happiness," she says, taking immediate control of the situation. Her voice is strained by the weight of what it carries. She turns to me, and something in her face changes.
"It's your father," she begins. And then stops, the next words caught somewhere deep. Perhaps she is searching for the right way to say it. Perhaps she is weighing the moment, knowing she is about to change my life forever.
Alison Storry was seven years old when she learned her father had been murdered, a casualty of the Troubles in Northern Ireland. She was in a friend's garden. It was August. These are the kinds of details that stay-not the grief itself, which arrives too large for a child to hold, but the ordinary things standing next to it.
Within a year she was sent away to boarding school in the English countryside, where she learned what children learn when no one gives them the words for loss: how to build a self that doesn't need the words at all. It was a useful self. It got her through-through a modeling career across Asia, through marriage entered into, as these things often are, in hope of safety. The safety didn't hold. Betrayal ended it; divorce followed close behind. And the life she'd spent decades constructing-carefully, competently, brick by brick-finally came apart.
What was left, underneath, was the seven-year-old in the garden, still waiting.
Fatherless is Storry retracing all of it-the grief, boarding school, Asia, marriage-without the armor this time. Then an investigator's letter finds her, carrying word of another woman shaped by the very same loss, from the other side.
What Storry discovers is not only the answer she'd been waiting fifty years for.
It is grace.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
