Forgetting your past is one thing, but living with your present is entirely different...
Twenty years ago, Helen is forced to give up her newborn baby, Lily. Now living alone in her small flat, there is a knock at the door and her bee, her Lily, is standing in front of her.
Reuniting means the world to them both, but Lily has questions. Lots of them. Questions that Helen is unwilling to answer. In turn Helen watches helplessly as her headstrong daughter launches from relationship to relationship, from kind Andrew, the father of her daughter, to violent Kingsley who fathers her son.
When it's clear her grandbees are in danger, tangled up in her daughter's damaging relationship, Helen must find the courage to step in, confronting the fears that haunt her the most.
Told in Helen's quirky voice Helen and the Grandbees addresses matters of identity, race and mental illness.
