Consequences

Jack Turner is born into reduced circumstances. Then he meets Rupert the only son of the wealthy Winstanley family. A lifelong friendship develops. But words like honour, duty, truth and respect appear to have different meanings to Rupert than they do Jack. Is this because of their backgrounds? Or do kids from low-income families think differently to those born into wealth and security? Perhaps they do?
When the beautiful and affluent, Anne Peters enters Jack’s life, he comes to comprehend and feel what those words really mean to him. That understanding changes the relationship between Jack, Rupert and Anne forever. Each of them hiding behind veils of suppressed emotions and deceit. Over the following years they meet as friends without ever showing their true feelings until it is too late. When the truth is finally revealed it has devastating consequences.
