Ghost children - Sue Townsend

Fifteen years ago Angela Carr aborted an unwanted child. Now the past revisits her with a vengeance. Fifteen years later the child's father, Christopher Moore, cannot quite forget his grief, longing and sense of loss. Living alone on a drab council estate, he is a burnt out man without a job and only a bull terrior for company. Christopher has turned his back on the world and has given-up on life. While out walking his dog one morning, Christopher makes a shocking and touching discovery in a ditch. What he finds forces him to seek out Angela. Now in a desperate, loveless marriage to Gregory Lipton, Angela has never had the child she realised she wanted. When Christopher re-enters her life like a grim messenger, the couple renew a love and passion lost all those years ago.
