Charlie Gilmour spent his childhood trying to understand how his biological father could abandon the family when he was just a baby. His mother remarried Pink Floyd singer and guitarist David Gilmour, who adopted her young son, but the absent father loomed large.
Charlie found wisdom and a deeper understanding of family bonds in an unlikely relationship, caring for an orphaned magpie. He writes about childhood and parenthood and the redemptive power of love in his memoir, Featherhood: A Memoir of Two Fathers and a Magpie.
