With Jane Garvey. Including: Coping with the death of a pet. Why are people who don't have pets sometimes unsympathetic to those who do, and why do people grieve for them so deeply when they die? What is the best way of explaining the death of a pet to children? Hear from Lydia Cacho, the Mexican journalist set on exposing those involved in the trafficking of women. The one-time child prodigy Sarah Chang talks about how she has got people to accept that, at the age of 28, she is now an adult star violinist. Also looking at women and public speaking; the issue of foetal alcohol syndrome (when women drink too much during pregnancy); the delights of growing lettuce; one woman's victory over age discrimination in the work place; and Sinead O' Connor on her life and music.
