What is Left Over After

Written by Natasha Lester

Narrated by Felicity Jurd

Gaelle has a dream job working for a fashion magazine, and a husband who loves her. Life should be perfect, but life does not always go according to plan. Feeling lost and alone, Gaelle flees to a tiny seaside town on the other side of the country. As she revisits the legacy of a strange, sometimes magical childhood in France, Gaelle finds unexpected help from a thirteen-year-old stranger.

As if she was experiencing her childhood all over again, she must ask: when you lose everything you love, what is left over after?
