Title Details

In the Swansea of the 50s, there is only one thing for a boy to do when he gets a girl "into trouble," and that is to marry her quickly. Blighted by an unhappy childhood, passionately in love for the first time in his life, Jack can't wait to do "the right thing." A happy family of his own is all he ever wanted, but not even in his wildest dreams did he envisage a wife like Helen. Beautiful, intelligent, and loving, Helen is headstrong enough to defy her family and convention for Jack, and when her father gives them his blessing, their future seems assured and glittering—until tragedy strikes and tears them apart.
