From 1930s Liverpool to London, then California and finally back to
Liverpool, the powerful and compelling saga of one woman's
turbulent life. Kitty O'Brien's husband is a drunken thug, and in
order to feed her starving children, she sells her body on the
Liverpool docks. Her daughter Lizzie is pregnant by her father and,
still weak after her abortion, she kills him. Her mother takes the
blame, but Lizzie cannot blot out the painful memories of her
childhood. Eventually, with a failed marriage behind her, she finds
fame, fortune and friendship in Hollywood - but happiness still
escapes her. And so she returns to her roots, and it is her final
marriage and its disastrous consequences that, at last, force her
to face her past and find the happiness and peace of mind that have
always eluded her.
