Tom Seymour
Tom Seymour is the name of the protagonist in the 2001 novel ''Border Crossing'' by English author Pat Barker. ==Description== The central character of the limited third-person narrative, Tom is a psychologist, with particular experience in working with children. When an elderly woman is found smothered and partially mutilated in her home, Tom is asked to perform a psychological assessment of Danny Miller, the young boy accused of her murder. In court, Tom proclaims Danny capable of distinguishing between fantasy and reality, and of understanding the notion of death as a permanent state. Tom's testimony effectively ensures that Danny is tried as an adult, despite being only ten years old, and sentenced to ten years in juvenile prison for the murder of Lizzie Parks. Despite his experience as a therapist, Tom finds himself somewhat incapable of understanding Danny, both as a child and an adult. Tom's own observations serve little to connect the ''"horror of the images"'' with Danny. It is from those who spent the most time with Danny that Tom must seek his answers, and the majority of ''Border Crossing'' is concerned with Tom's search for an explanation.
