One locked bathroom. One impossible decision. One child’s fate hanging in the balance.
Alice Lennox, a frightened young nursing student, conceals an unwanted pregnancy on her family’s farm. Alone in a locked bathroom, she gives birth to a premature baby who survives — but sustains severe brain injury.
Dr Clive Cloete, a newly arrived GP from Zimbabwe seeking a fresh start, answers the emergency call. Refused entry by Alice, he follows medical protocol and summons an ambulance. Though later cleared by police, his actions are questioned, leaving him burdened with guilt and doubt.
The baby, named Zachary, is placed into State care until foster parents Anne and Ian Prince-Smith open their home and hearts. Through tireless love and sacrifice, they nurture him beyond all expectations. Zachary’s smile and artistic spark become symbols of resilience, even as his disabilities remain profound.
Years later, Zachary — hardly verbal and completely dependent — is thrust into the centre of a staggering $23.5 million medical negligence lawsuit. The claim is not brought by his devoted foster parents, but by a lawyer chasing personal gain. As the case escalates, Clive’s reputation, livelihood, and future hang by a thread. At stake is not only one doctor’s career, but the larger truth of what it means to practise medicine in isolated rural communities.
Zachary’s Cry is a powerful and moving novel of trauma, justice, and redemption. Perfect for readers who enjoy Jodi Picoult, Christos Tsiolkas, or emotionally charged
