Treasure Chest

Anne Reid was 33 years old when she discovered she was dying of cancer. After the horror of facing death had begun to subside, she was still numb with the fear of leaving her two children, Karl, aged four, and Kandy, aged three, to face an uncertain future without their mother. Her unashamed, honest account of her life and illness is deeply moving, yet hugely uplifting. Shining through the whole drama is Anne Reid's sharply focused passion for her children. Far from being sad, The Treasure Chest becomes a celebration of life, love and the triumph of the human spirit.
