The Wilson family was torn apart the night little Christopher was almost killed. Though the two year-old survives the brutal attack by his drunken father, his older sister Kaitlyn is convinced it's all her fault. Christopher is taken into care and never returns to the family home on the notorious Roxford estate in South London. But the bond between the siblings remains strong, and as Kaitlyn gets older she dreams of a new life away from the violence of the estate and her mother's dangerous addictions. But most of all, she dreams of being reunited with her little brother. Will Kaitlyn's dreams ever come true? And if they do, could they really turn into a nightmare? "Kaitlyn" is the heart-rending story of a family ripped apart by tragedy and reunited by a twist of fate that threatens to destroy all their lives and of a girl who has to choose between everything she has worked for, and the only family she has every known.

I purchased this book for my kindle. Having never read any of Kevin Lewis books before I was pleased that finally I could find this type of British author available for purchase on Kindle in USA. Being from London and now living in USA I miss these types of books.

Today I started reading it and couldn't put it down, what a great read. The characters are great, the story is great. If you have ever read Martina Cole or any of those types of authors - read this you are going to love it.

Now I am headed back to purchase the rest of his books...

I have read and enjoyed Martina Cole and was pleased to come across an author who sounded similar. The story starts strong and it is interesting following Kaitlyn's upbringing and hearing about Christopher and his new adoptive family, one a criminal the other working for the legal system. Some of the story got a bit long winded but I stuck with it wanting to see what happened when Kaitlyn and Chrissy finally found each other figuring it was enevitable they would, thats when the book went down hill. It seemed like the author then didn't know where to go with it and things came to an abrupt ending, leaving me disappointed for having perserved to the end.
