Twelve-year-old Tom and his sister first came to Brighton after they lost their father in the great storm of 1883. They left their mother at her new job in the big house, and walked to their lodgings in the Lanes. But in the middle of the night Tom hears their mother, calling for them. And in trying to find her, he finds his own future.

Written by Emma Darwin, and read by Philip Voss.
