Struggling to come to terms with the suicide of her teenage son, Ellie
lives in the shadows of the Forth Road Bridge, lingering on its
footpaths and swimming in the waters below. One day she talks down
another suicidal teenager, Sam, and sees for herself a shot at
redemption, the chance to atone for her son's death. But even with the
best intentions, she can't foresee the situation she's falling headlong
into -- a troubled family, with some very dark secrets of their own.
The Jump is a hugely moving contemporary thriller, and a stunning
portrait of an unlikely heroine.
