"Now, an intriguing new book claims that not only was the affair consummated while Asquith was in office, but that it produced an illegitimate son whose existence was carefully concealed.
Its author, Bobbie Neate, identifies the son as being none other than her own stepfather, Louis Stanley. After her mother’s death, she decided to find out more about the tyrannical, abusive man who refused to reveal anything about his past.

"Throughout her life, Bobbie suspected that her domineering, abusive stepfather had a secret to hide. Always guarded, Louis would never talk about his childhood, snapping at anyone who dared to ask.
Now, after years of research, Bobbie believes that her stepfather’s secret is more shocking than she could possibly have imagined....a fascinating account of both her own life with Louis – a prolific non-fiction author and motor racing team manager – and her search to find the truth about his parentage."
