Bradley Cox comes home after eight years in prison for killing his father. To one sister, he's a kind of hero, to the other, an awkward stranger, and to his mother, a son she no longer knows or understands. After years of domestic abuse, this family attempts to find normalcy, even as their violent past keeps trying to crush them. Old hurts cannot be mended until Leah finally truly examines her past.
Leah's Garden-A debut drama revolves around a theme of domestic abuse and the resolution of age-old grudges...Characters are stranded in the present while the narrative looks back ("After Vanessa left, Bradley carried their empty coffee cups over and set them in the sink. Memories flooded him. Kitchen memories. His father coming home from work in one of his moods, throwing food, breaking dishes."------- A tense and absorbing family tale. Kirkus Reviews
