Four individuals from four different countries experience their unique trials as young people caught up in the struggles and tragedies of the 2nd World War. Each has their own story of determination and courage leading to a common goal of survival and repair in dealing with their own circumstances. Each will reach a place of challenge and growth to find love and family. Some paths will cross but it is the result of their persistence and strength that the future will bring them all together in a strange land. These are stories of immigration, and opportunity, celebrating their legacy.

We have all experienced schooling and working with narcissistic individuals. From work colleagues to school bullies, the one common factor is their insecurity, displayed through their lack of empathy towards others. But what happens when we have a close family member who displays traits of narcissism, and how can we overcome that? This is the story of Abby Sutton and her middle-class English family. She is the younger of two daughters who must navigate her way through the demands and taunting of her older sister and the quiet enabling of her parents. We follow Abby's life throughout her teenage years and into adulthood and her belief that she will not allow her pain to be her sister's strength. Abby's story takes place in the changing world of the 1960s when women are beginning to take some control of their lives with the availability of oral contraception and the idea that girls can have both a career and families of their own. In a background of social change and cultural expectations, Abby's journey follows her realization that she is relevant and loved by others and that she can overcome the obstacles placed in her way.
