EVEN WHEN LIFE SEEMS TO BE ONE STEP FORWARD, TWO STEPS BACK, SHE NEVER GIVES UP...

Since the age of eight, Katie Roberts has dreamed of getting away from the Cardiff slums where she lives.

When she is only a girl her father, Lewis, is imprisoned for theft, leaving Katie and her mother homeless and penniless. Life is hard - not only because of their poverty but also because of the stigma of her father's shame.

When Lewis is released years later, she hopes that things will improve. But to Katie's horror, life becomes worse than she has ever known it. When she and her father are left alone together, Katie seeks happiness and love elsewhere, but as she struggles to make a new life for herself, there is difficulty and danger at every turn...

She longs to be free, but will she always be tied to the past?
