Radical Ray: A Father's Return - A Heartfelt Story of Family, Forgiveness, and Finding Where You Belong. What happens when the father you barely remember suddenly wants back in your life?
Nine-year-old Ray Roxby thought he had his story figured out: a life filled with love from his mum, Shirl, and Grandma Leila, a best mate who always had his back, and a dog, Atlas, who never let him down. But when a letter from his long-lost father, Matthew, arrives out of nowhere, everything Ray believed about family, trust, and belonging is put to the test.
Will meeting Matthew fill the gap in Ray's story, or will it leave more unanswered questions?
