Born in secrecy. Left to die. But, against all odds, Zachary survived. BORN IN SECRECY. LEFT TO DIE. BUT AGAINST ALL ODDS, ZACHARY SURVIVED. When a terrified young woman gives birth alone in a locked farmhouse bathroom, the consequences are catastrophic. The new born child is left with severe brain damage. The on-call doctor — a newly arrived Zimbabwean GP, still adjusting to Australia’s rural health system — is refused entry to the bathroom and follows protocol. But years later, his decision will come back to haunt him. The baby is placed into State care and given the name Zachary. At a young age, he finds hope in the arms of foster parents Anne and Ian Prince-Smith, whose love, grit, and quiet heroism transform his life. But Zachary’s story isn’t over. Years later, he becomes the centre of a staggering $23.5 million medical negligence lawsuit — one that threatens to destroy Dr Clive Cloete’s career and unearth secrets long buried in silence and guilt. Set in outback South Australia, Zachary’s Cry is a haunting, hopeful novel about trauma — and how we define justice when things go horribly wrong.
