Description
1960s. Maggie Wheaton’s life is almost perfect. Confident, bright and
popular, she lives with her loving, wealthy parents in a close-knit
Cambridgeshire village. But, just days after her sixteenth birthday, her world
falls apart: an accident kills both her parents, and then she suffers the
ultimate betrayal when she learns a life-changing family secret. Maggie has no choice but to go and live with her appointed guardian, Ruby
Riordan, in the seaside town of Southend, where she sets out on a deliberate
path of self-destruction. Will Ruby be able to save her from herself, or is it
all too little too late?
