About the Book

There's a battle around every corner, how far would you go to afford exemption?

''One Visit is a raw, uncompromising novel exploring a grimly compelling and contemporary world of drug addiction with its predators and prey.''

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Frankie Gibbs, an unambitious adolescent on Universal Credit, wants nothing more than to keep his brother Dazzler out of the North Wales care system. Poverty isn't Frankie's only obstacle, as their boozing, coke-head single-parent father, Guy Gibbs, heaps misery on their lives through systematic abuse and never-ending wild parties.

Dazzler's bright, but at just twelve years old, isn't mentally prepared for the turmoil unfolding around him. Not least once Justin, an acquaintance from Frankie's school days now turned drug dealer, rocks up on the scene. Such gnarly environments either make or break a kid, but where do you turn when everyone's lights are off?

Hard-hitting and brutally authentic, One Visit goes deep inside the harrowing existence most in poverty have no choice but face.

''One Visit is an astonishing debut. It's raw, shocking, disturbing, insightful and dark, pretty much from start to finish. There are flashes of wit but, in the main, it's a full-frontal assault with the truth of physical, psychological, social and political deterioration in a beautiful part of Wales.'' - https: //www.amazon.co.uk/gp/customer-reviews/RVTMLFXO0Q7KI/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0BLMDGLQD

''One Visit is a raw, uncompromising novel exploring a grimly compelling and contemporary world of drug addiction with its predators and prey. A brutally good read that's well worth a look.'' - Rose Auburn - https: //www.roseauburn.com/post/one-visit

''One Visit makes you think while you are reading, it opens your eyes because these characters grow on you and you hope that somehow Frankie and Dazzler somehow will escape their life.'' - Karen Lee - https: //www.goodreads.com/review/show/5333731874

''One Visit is a haunting and thought-provoking journey through the trials of a family in crisis. It's a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the lengths to which one will go to protect the ones they love. George Veck's storytelling is powerful and unforgettable, making this novel a must-read for those who appreciate literature that delves into the complexities of the human experience.'' - Demetria Head - https: //www.goodreads.com/user/show/140745089-a-look-inside-books-movies-music

''The author has passion, feelings and descriptive writing to a tee.'' - Mark Fearn - https: //www.goodreads.com/review/show/5491543578

''I recommend this book and approach it with an open mind as the author gives us a look at what many people face daily, the burden of addiction.'' - Stuart Brkn Johns - https: //www.goodreads.com/review/show/5203343189

''Every little detail in the narrative, the use of slang native to drug users all works to blend in this documentary-style book. As a reader, you are invested in a story but still remain a spectator.'' - Michelle - https: //www.goodreads.com/review/show/5257315352
