Edward, My Son background

Edward, My Son

A desperate attempt to protect his family's reputation spirals out of control for a wealthy father, ultimately leading to devastating consequences.

The story of Edward Boult, a 23-year-old who lost his life in World War II, is told through his father Arnold's eyes. Edward's life was marked by privilege, irresponsibility, and a series of pivotal moments, including a serious medical issue as a child, a near-expulsion from a prestigious school, and a scandalous pregnancy at age 20. Arnold's extreme measures to protect his son's name had far-reaching consequences for many, including his own wife Evelyn, who began to hate him and realized she never truly knew her son. The family's legacy was ultimately threatened by an old family friend, Dr. Larry Woodhope, who sought to ensure that Arnold's actions would not be remembered.
