Description: Surely it is normal for the female of the species to become pregnant and to give birth. But in 1950s Britain it could be an impossible predicament. My father, an elder of the Prebyterian church, went into denial. What else could he do? This is the story of Joyce Fleming, an unmarried mother and Tony, her son to an Nigerian student.
