Ses jaar ná die verskyning van Bloedvreemd vertel Juliana Coetzer wat hét geword van haar dogter, Anneke. In Bloedvreemd vertel die skrywer hoe Anneke op sewejarige ouderdom ’n virus opgedoen wat haar brein aangetas het, en geleidelik het sy verstandelik begin agteruitgaan. Die werklikheid het egter nie stilgestaan nie. Ses jaar ná die boek vra mense steeds – wat het geword van julle? Is Anneke oukei? Hoe maak ’n mens met die voortdurende verlies, die agteruitgang?

Juliana Coetzer is ook ’n terapeut. Met 'n skreiend eerlike stem wat voortdurend selfondersoek doen, skryf Juliana oor die verdere reis met Anneke, nou al in haar vroeg dertigs. Sy kan al hoe minder praat, al hoe minder verstaan, en steeds probeer sy haar onafhanklikheid behou. Sover Juliana en haar eggenoot, Fanus, daartoe in staat is, probeer hulle haar omhul in ’n wêreld met embarming en begrip. Maar elke dag (en nag) bring sy eie, eindelose uitdagings.

Die kind se naam is Anneke is aangrypende leesstof vir enigiemand wat al pyn/verlies ervaar het. Of jy ’n kind het of nie. En of jy Bloedvreemd gelees het al dan nie.
