Listen to Lynn Knight on WOMAN'S HOUR

'A book to recommend with all one's heart ...Lynn Knight's stor­y of her 'accidental family' proves how families can be transformed by adoption ... It is impossible to distil the multiple delights of this dense narrative ... Knight tells her tale scintillatingly, with affectionate appreciation underscored by the knowledge that, had they not been rescued, three lives would have been very different' - VALERIE GROVE, 'BOOK OF THE WEEK', THE TIMES
