A Family Matter

Claire Lynch

A mother loses her daughter to a court that could do that in 1982, and a family learns why forty years on.

In 1982 Dawn is a young mother who follows her heart, and a husband with the law on his side takes their daughter from her. Forty years later the family learns what happened. Lynch writes about a period when British courts routinely removed children from gay mothers, and about the silence that policy left inside ordinary families.
