At age nine Lee-Anne Duncan's mother died.
Now several decades later, and a mother herself, the Wellington journalist and editor has connected with 80 other people - some well-known, some less so - who lost a parent in childhood or in their teens.
She has interviewed them and plans to compile their stories into a book - with a view to helping others.
She has a website and is crowdfunding towards the costs of publishing the book.
