I Had to Do It
Description
My sister is missing. My father is guilty...
In a café on a normal Monday morning, a stranger sits down opposite Jessica Walsh and tells a story that eerily mirrors Jess's own.
They both have sisters who are addicts and increasingly desperate fathers. The difference is Jess knows her dad would never resort to violence to fix the 'problem', even if this woman's father has.
Later that morning, Jess sees voicemails from her sister: their dad is wielding an axe, Vicky needs her now.
When Jess gets home and finds her sister missing, her father explains this is all part of a plan. Though the measures are extreme, this will help Vicky get clean. But Jess can't forget the woman from the café.
And she knows from experience it only takes a day for whole your life to unravel...
