  Mum-to-be Rachel did everything right, but it all went wrong. Her son, Luke,
  was stillborn and she finds herself on maternity leave without a baby, trying
  to make sense of her loss.
  
  
  When a misguided well-wisher tells her that ‘everything happens for a reason’,
  she becomes obsessed with finding that reason, driven by grief and convinced
  that she is somehow to blame. She remembers that on the day she discovered her
  pregnancy, she’d stopped a man from jumping in front of a train, and she’s now

  Desperate to find him, she enlists an unlikely ally in Lola, an Underground
