Waiting For...

"Waiting for Jarod" is the story of a New England woman waiting for her son to come home from war.

She eases the pain with a lifesized cardboard cutout picture of him.

"Waiting for Jarod" was made by Meghan Vigeant in 2006 for the Salt Institute Saltcast. Listen to the full programme here
