My cup of tea is on the bedside table. It is where he has
always left it, every morning of the eighteen years we have
been married he has made me a cup of tea, brought it up
and left it on the side and normally that's all it is, a cup of
tea on the side. But today is not a normal day.Today, Marcia is heading to the Old Bailey. She's going there to do something no mother should ever have to do: attend the trial of the boy accused of her son's murder.She's not meant to be that woman, Ryan, her son, wasn't that kind of boy. But Tyson Manley is that kind of a boy and, as his trial unfolds, it becomes clear that his girlfriend Sweetie is the one with the answers that Marcia so badly needs - and who can, perhaps, offer her some kind of hope for the future. But Sweetie is as scared of Tyson as Ryan should have been and, as Marcia's learned the hard way, nothing's certain. Not any more.
