Hemelsleutels

De zesjarige Linde woont samen met haar ouders boven de verdieping van haar dementerende oma. Als haar moeder van het balkon springt krijgt het meisje een schuldgevoel, ze had haar vader beloofd op mama te passen. Na de dood van haar moeder veranderd het leven van Linde, haar vader heeft alleen nog maar oog voor zijn naaktmodellen en haar oma gaat hard achteruit. Op het moment dat Linde in haar vaders kamer ‘grote mensenboekjes’ vindt, snapt ze waarom haar moeder van het balkon gesprongen is. De dagen doorbrengend met haar oma, krijgt Linde steeds meer begrip voor haar moeder. Als ze bij Hanneke, haar vriendinnetje, thuis leert over Abraham en zijn offer doet ze alles om vergiffenis van haar moeder te krijgen. Misschien zelfs iets te veel.. Nadat ze uit het ziekenhuis komt, is haar oma naar boven verhuist, en haar oom; Grote Henk bij hun ingetrokken, de relatie met haar oma wordt steeds beter en ze lijkt de enige die de verwarde Linde nog begrijpt. Dan vertelt Simone, een vriendin van haar vader, dat er iets ergs gebeurd is toen ze in het ziekenhuis lag….
