When her husband decided he didn't want biological children, Sarah Sentilles was forced to acknowledge her deepest longing. In her compelling new memoir, Stranger Care, she explores the realisation that she wanted to be a parent - to care for someone else's baby. Sarah speaks to Newcastle Writers Festival director Rosemarie Milsom about the life-changing experience.
Stranger Care is published by Text and can be bought online via Maclean's Booksellers.
