Al & Ri - Building Home: The Falmer Boys Book IV (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798254977193)

Building Home is the fourth book in The Falmer Boys series.

Ri and Al have built something real in their St Kilda flat - a shared life, a chosen family, a future taking shape. Ri is on the brink of leaving academia behind to do the work that actually matters to him: sitting with couples in crisis and helping them find their way back to each other. Al is pouring everything he has into the young people in his care, perhaps more than is good for him.

Then a mole on Al's back changes everything. What follows is a reckoning - with fear, with the body's vulnerability, and with the question of whether two people who have already survived so much can hold each other through something this close to the edge.

Building Home is also the story of Ri's mother arriving in Melbourne after years of silence, of old wounds being named aloud at last, and of what it means to rebuild a relationship from almost nothing. And it is, above all, a love story - quiet, hard-won, and deeply felt.

Readers who have followed Ri and Al from Brighton will find them changed, tested, and more themselves than ever.
