Born into violence and tragedy, with a father who killed her own mother, Kathleen became a ward of the state, but when she was fostered into the Marlborough family, she forged close friendships at school in Newcastle and a remarkable sisterhood was formed, friends for life who have stuck by her and take us back. Jane also discovers an incident that supports the new science, where one of Kathleen’s friends found her daughter Laura not breathing, one day while babysitting.
