Whatever Happened Next?

By David B Lyons

It's been five years since Betsy was freed from the basement of the south Dublin home she had been held captive in for much of her life.

Yet despite her new-found freedom, Betsy still feels as if her hands are tied, and her movements are limited.

Her parents are strangers to her, so, too, are all of the neighbours who seem to be making way-too-much-a-fuss about her return.

But with Bozy by her side, Betsy can see light at the end of her tunnel, and is certain she can find true happiness again...

Somewhere...

Somehow...

WHATEVER HAPPENED NEXT? is the second book in the Lenny Moon series
