Back Cover Blurb:
Lizzie O'Brien was born into a large, boisterous family, determined to stay together in Liverpool despite the nightly bombing raids of the Second World War. But for Lizzie, childhood innocence is haunted by a dark shadow. Even her mother's devotion and the love of her brothers cannot dirve out the spectre that is ruining her life - her brute of a father who sees her a dark cuckoo invading his family of blonde sons.
At sixteen Lizzie runs away to London - the first of her stepping stones towards freedom and a new life. She believes the past and its nightmares are locked away tight, and only a glorious future remains, of friendships forged for a lifetime and a glittering new career as an actress set for Hollywood.
But the past is threatening to destroy Lizzie's dreams and she can no longer ignore the truth..... ( )
