      "Little Maggie is on holiday with her aunt and uncle. Meanwhile her mum waits for Maggie's baby brother to come home from hospital. On a walk across the wild Norfolk shoreline, Maggie finds a seal pup stranded on the beach, all alone. She is the sweetest thing Maggie has ever seen. But without her mum, how will the seal survive? Who will rescue her and will she ever be returned to the sea, and find her family again? Expressed through her vivid dreams and thoughtful actions, Maggie longs for the rescue and survival of this dear little seal pup. And, all the while, she hopes with all her heart to be reunited with her own mum and baby brother again."--Publisher.

      Mara Bergman's poetry captures the profound moments and intricate details of memory, exploring the transformative experiences within families. The collection juxtaposes the vibrant, fearless life of a young woman with the poignant reality of a dying mother who clings to life for the sake of a great-grandchild. Through evocative imagery, the poems reflect on the emotional landscapes of loss, connection, and the one-sided dialogues we maintain with those who have passed.
