When Ted is killed in a surfing accident, his death exposes long-held family secrets and sets in motion a series of revelations and betrayals. Only one thing is certain: Ted's death is a defining moment for his loved ones. But will it make his family stronger, or break them apart?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTed's adoring wife of forty years, Connie Blunt, witnesses the tragedy. Focused on her own grief, which plays out in unexpected ways, she is incapable of offering comfort to her son, Sebastian, who worshipped Ted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSeb, an evangelical Christian, struggles with his relationship with his mother. General practitioner Connie, seventy going on twenty-five, is a devout atheist, a free spirit with an edgy taste in music. Clever, sharp-tongued, often generous, and cherished by both of Seb's children, she can also be intolerant, stubborn, and on occasion, downright unlikeable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYet, Seb has never doubted his mother's love for his dad. Or not until three days after Ted's funeral, when he discovers her in bed with another man.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTed's death turns an already tense mother-son relationship toxic. Seb demands answers, but Connie is not ready to reveal that she and Ted were keeping a secret from their son. For Connie, though, harder to confront will be the secret Ted kept from her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThreaded with wry humour, \u003cem\u003eLife After Ted\u003c\/em\u003e is a compelling examination of family conflict. The iconic backdrop of Bondi Beach is a presence as vivid, changeable, and fascinating as any of the flawed and complex characters navigating their way through grief, towards hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46712192663788,"sku":"9781760688240","price":37.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24269343482814.jpg?v=1754283380"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/rick-feneley.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
