In the wake of a horrific car accident that claims the life of her younger Brother, Patty Woodall finds herself living a shadow of her old life, her family shattered, her name forever tarnished, and her employment prospects non-existent. That is, until Patty receives a mysterious job offer, assisting an elderly Matriarch in the running and maintenance of a remote home owned by the Morgan Family, as well as tending to the two orphaned Morgan girls. However, Patty soon discovers that things are not as they seem, as she soon starts to uncover the dark history of the Morgan Home and the even darker secrets that are hidden in the Family's history.

Adopting an interdisciplinary framework in recognition of the range of domestic and institutional settings in which elder abuse can occur, this book both explains the nature of this under-reported and little understood problem and addresses the vital question of how practitioners can best work towards its prevention.
