'Mother Stands for Comfort' is Guy A Johnson's fifth novel - the much anticipated sequel to 'White Goods'. His darkest work to date, it picks up exactly where White Goods left off - the lid of a chest freezer is lifted and a petrified boy is pulled from its icy well. But the child won't talk - and his rescuer doesn't know who he is. He should take the boy to the police - but that's the one thing he can't do. Instead, in the dark of the night, he leaves him on a stranger's doorstep... Oliver has spent a lifetime torturing his mother with threats and foul behaviour. When he is lured into a stranger's house by an older boy, he finally meets his match... Jake hates his alcoholic mother and lives in fear of his half-brother, Toby. But a chance encounter leads to kindness and an unexpected way out... Brian lives in strained tolerance of his mother, a woman who's convinced her abusive ex-husband keeps breaking into their house - although no one ever finds a trace of him, not even the police, who she frequently calls in... All three boys live in the same terrace - their lives joined by bricks and followed by one man - a stranger who is determined to find out which one of them he rescued from the icy jaws of a freezer twelve years earlier....
