Angel Hill is home to The Lonely Man, the Ash Wednesday killer, and who knows whatâs going on at the Mertland Childrensâ Home. But for 12-year-old Frank, the only evil he fears is his motherâs new husband Terry.
The source of all the ridicule and shame Frank faces on a daily basis, the swats to the head, the laughter when Franks falls and needs stitches, Terry is the source of it all.
Frankâs only confidant is a stuffed animal named Jack. But like Jack always says, âWhat do you need friends for, youâve got the best one ever right here.â
Jack the Lion is a solitary story for the lonely. It's the story of one boyâs abusive childhood at the hands of one whoâs job it was to protect him - and the story of the one who finally did.
