On a winter's day in 2002, a bottle shaped like a tear was washed up on the Kent coast. It contained a letter written in French, a lock of hair, and a mystery. Only one thing could be known for certain, that the writer of the letter was a mother, grieving for her lost child, Maurice.
Moved by the woman's heartache, Karen Liebreich sets out on a journey to piece together the mother's story. Her book is the compelling true story of one woman's search for another, and a poignant reflection on love, loss and motherhood.
