You’re seven years old. Mum’s in hospital. Dad says she’s “done something stupid.” She finds it hard to be happy. You start a list of everything worth living for. 1. Ice Cream. 2. Rollercoasters. 3. Peeing in the lake and nobody knows… You leave the list on her pillow. You know she’s read it because she’s corrected your spelling. Twenty years and thousands of things later, the list takes on a life of its own.
