In Jim Brady, Susan Cummings has found a man who is perfect marriage material: tall, good-looking, decent and caring. But love never runs smoothly, and in Belfast in the late 1950s it is as rough as it is possible to be. For Jim is a Catholic, and Susan knows that her Protestant parents will never accept such a union.
However much their feelings blossom, Susan and Jim know that theirs is a relationship that is doomed from the start. Even so, when Jim decides that breaking up is the only way forward, Susan is brokenhearted. And when your heart is broken, anything can happen. And it does in the form of Graham Robson, her sister's boyfriend.
For a brief moment despair is replaced by desire. It is a single night that changes her life: when Susan discover she is pregnant, she flees from her family's reaction for England, and the sanctuary of her Aunt Edith's home in Darlington.
