Linda Hoy is a British author who is best known for her works for children and young adults.
It is now a set text in many British comprehensive schools, and is often used to help young people deal with bereavement.
Her first television play, Emily, was the winner of the Silver Award for Drama in New York in 1985.
Exploring the connections between time, spirituality and quantum physics, it claims to "offer the strongest evidence yet for the existence of a soul and an afterlife".
