Angela, a divorcee, is severely depressed, isolating herself, not eating, and sunk in melancholy after the tragic death of her twenty-five-year-old only son. Trying to keep him alive, she writes long letters to him and, by reading the emails on his computer, becomes convinced that somewhere she has a grandson, conceived through donor insemination. When she spots a young boy, the image of her son, she schemes to take what is her own and pour out her love on him.

Kate Ingram lives in Belfast and spent a long time involved in the arts and loving all forms of creativity. Although she has always enjoyed writing this previously took a back seat to bringing up a family and working to include others in many arts activities. She ran an arts and disability organisation for many years but eventually left to concentrate on her writing. Since then, she has written one book for young adults, The Worry Stone, published in 2021, as well as the Rainbow Rug. She is currently working on a sequel to the Worry Stone.
