Description: Orphaned as children, sisters Hannah and Julie were either ill-treated or left to their own devices. Hannah was always the more sensible of the two and now, happily married with a steady job, her determination to succeed has paid off. The same cannot be said for Julie. Easily led by the wrong crowd, she drifted apart from Hannah when she fell pregnant at fifteen and the sisters eventually lost contact. Now, with three children from three different men and surviving on benefits, Julie is living a life of misery and drug addiction. She needs help and it's up to her sister to step in, but in doing so Hannah discovers to her horror that her own life might not be so perfect after all ...
