Author Description

It is 1958 and the horror of war is fading. ‘Rock and Roll’ entertains the young and the future looks bright. Alice and Susan meet in a women’s hostel in Baron’s Court, London. They are both seventeen but from different backgrounds. An only child, Susan, has been spoilt while Alice comes from a broken home. Susan invites Alice to go to a local dance hall on Saturday evening. Alice is delighted, it was the right decision to leave her dad’s. Susan and Tony take Alice to his house, then they leave her with four strangers. She is terrified as she does not know where or how to get back to the hostel. This is even worse than living with her mum and stepfather. She wonders if she should return to her father, but would he take her back?
