While a mother remembers sending her sons away to boarding school, a stepmother tells what it is like to inherit another woman's son, and a young mother portrays the utterly hopeless love she feels for her infant son. It includes contributions from: Diran Adebayo; Spike Milligan; Jon Snow; Adam Mars-Jones; Michael Bywater; Jan Dalley; Sonia Melchett; Sophie Parkin; Kate Saunders; Jill Dawson; Father Seed; Phineas Foster; Susan Richards; and Jenny Craddock.
