A collection of seven spare tales, some with flashes from other dimensions, and all with family as a dominant theme. Daughters, mothers, husbands, children, babies - coping with challenges at different life stages. A dying mother battles to secure a daughter's inheritance. The daughter of a different family seeks peace as her mother's dementia escalates. An older divorcee makes an astonishing decision. Events lead a young woman to doubt the youthful, emotional connection she had with her vibrant grandmother. An elusive memory frustrates a mother of twins. An elderly lady gets the better of a young couple. Suddenly a child's future is under threat. The story situations are likely to resonate. Because of familiarity, or because there's a sense of: so that's what it can be like for some people, or because I never thought of that happening, or because of unfinished business. Perhaps you might have managed matters differently?
