Die Trying
About this ebook
On the surface, Adam and Jemma are a normal couple with a nice life in Bristol: they share a young son, busy days, work and friends to juggle.
But Jemma is not alright – she’s lost her sense of self and each choice she makes is tempting her to play a dangerous game to find her spark again.
Adam isn’t coping, either, his painful past threatening to overturn the present. His coping device back then was unorthodox: a glass die, rolled to decide any decision. At first it seemed like a game. But games have winners and losers...
