In the winter of 2015, eight men attend a meeting in suburban Melbourne. Forty-five years earlier, they had been sexually abused by a priest who taught them. They discuss their lives and the lives of the other four class members who have committed suicide. During the months that follow, the men decide to take action in response to the damages they have experienced. The events that follow will change their lives forever and have international repercussions. Tim Lowe takes us on a journey into the minds of damaged men and guides us towards an understanding of the real impact of childhood abuse.

The Second Son is a biographical account of the life of Baron Leopold von der Borch, an aristocrat who, in 1868 at the age of twenty-two, left Germany for Australia aboard the George Shotten. During the four months at sea, he could not have imagined that he would never return to the family and home he loved. Leopold's story is about a young man learning to stand on his own two feet: a young man who became a detective, an interpreter, and the first official police photographer in Australia. The Second Son is a story of challenge, of contrast, and of hope.
