Charlie is a kleptomaniac " the doctor told her. Reckons it stems from childhood trauma. But she has the robbin' completely under control these days. For real. She has a bit of a mouth on her, but she's only trying to be funny, not cause trouble, like. Not today, of all days. She loves that little boy more than she ever thought it was possible to love another human. There's a lot riding on these 24 hours, and if she keeps her head down, she'll get him back. **** (Irish Times)
