marriage, but all too soon she discovers that life with her old
class mate Trevor is not a ticket to freedom and happiness. She
finds herself on the streets, pregnant and homeless. She is taken
in by her mother's old friends, but the love and security of this
haven is soon shattered by appalling tragedy, which affects all the
chocolate girls and their children and changes life forever . . .
