When you've come out of a children's home with your brother, bought a house and settled down, it's a bit of a surprise when another sibling turns up after more than forty years. Emily Winterburn is amazed at Jeremy's arrival in her life, and shocked when he makes a dramatic disclosure that changes everything. Understandably, the question they ask about their relations is, 'Why didn't they want us?'

Perhaps you'll find, like Emily, that while families have silver, friendships are golden.Brenda Alice Wild was born in Thornton, West Yorkshire. She was educated at Gregory Girls School.
