In Baxter's Beach, Barbados, Lala's grandmother Wilma tells the story of the one-armed
sister, a cautionary tale about what happens to girls who disobey their mothers.
For Wilma, it's the story of a wilful adventurer, who ignores the warnings of those around
her, and suffers as a result.
When Lala grows up, she sees it offers hope - of life after losing a baby in the most
terrible of circumstances and marrying the wrong man.
And Mira Whalen? It's about keeping alive, trying to make sense of the fact that her
husband has been murdered, and she didn't get the chance to tell him that she loved him
after all.
