A recipe for hope...the mum of Claudia Lawrence thinks of others this Christmas
This will be the thirteenth Christmas Joan has faced since her 35-year-old daughter inexplicably vanished from her home in York. Yet again, the 78-year-old grandma will fill her mantelpiece at home in Malton with old cards that Claudia had sent her before she went missing.
Joan refuses to give up hope, praying each year for a knock on the door or a telephone call. But, with every passing year, she know it's less likely to come.
“It gets harder all the time, but I can’t just let it go,” she says. “I have to keep going for Claudia's sake, don't I?”
