description: Leona and Danny's young daughter, Amelia, perishes in a car crash. Paralysed in the accident, Danny is spurned by Leona's harsh accusations as she clings helplessly to a balloon believed to contain Amelia's breath. Enter Lola, a pathological grief councillor. Turbulent, daring, Murphy's writing ventures through dark emotional territory unearthing humour and forgiveness as Leona and Danny fight their way back to each other, and to life.
