The Family Caught is a mesmeric expose of what is normally hidden from public scrutiny: what happens when a family self-destructs and ends up in the Family Court. Although a piece of fiction, this story of three children's experiences of separation, divorce and the dreadful after-effects has been played out many times in real life. It is a confronting story and not for the faint hearted. It follows the lives of first the parents and then the children as their worlds fall apart. How do children cope during separation? What do their parents do about it? What do the authorities do about it? There is laughter, there are tears, there are little heroes who don't deserve the traumas they are put through but who manage to cope anyway. If you like courtroom drama, if you like to see a family in microcosm, if you like to see the struggles of ordinary people for justice, then this book will remain on your mind for years after reading it.
