Angela O' Rourke is six when her parents hand her over to an aunt & uncle in a distant village. It's a common practice for large, hard-up families in 1950s Irel&, but for Angela it means that her mother & father don't love her any more.
Angela is well cared for until she's sixteen, but then her uncle takes to drink, & it's not safe for her to stay in his house. Moving to Liverpool in the early 1960s, she begins to make her mark in the world of fashion design. But the pain of a disastrous love affair sends her home to Ireland just after the death of her aunt: & there, among old papers, Angela makes an astonishing discovery. As she learns the truth about the past, a brighter new future beckons.
