«A Howl of Anguish» by Janice Hutchings

A Howl of Anguish traces the trials and tribulations of three families who live in a small west country market town. Central to the plot is Marjorie who meets a young man called Malcolm, with a very unhappy background. Their relationship is threatened by a jealous rival, Harry, the local trouble maker resulting in an accident and Marjorie in a coma. There are many characters interwoven into this story whose lives become inextricably drawn together through friendship and tragedy, culminating in an uplifting ending.
