A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is an extraordinary and heartbreaking tale, recounted with searing frankness by Jacob's paternal grandfather. Jacob was just ten years old when he was smothered with a pillow after suffering from Hunter Syndrome, a rare and incurable degenerative illness that meant he would not live past his teenage years. Jacob's father, Andy, admitted the mercy killing and was subsequently put on trial for Jacob's murder. This touching and emotional book looks back on Jacob's life - remembering the happy and beautiful child beloved by all who knew him. It also recounts the drama that surrounded Jacob's death and looks at why his father acted as he did. "Jacob's Ladder" raises many moral questions as well as being a lasting memorial and moving tribute to Jacob himself.
