At first her na?ve dreams are shattered by the reality of life in England and she experiences rejection, danger and tragedy. But also great friendship, the love and support of an eccentric aunt and the joy of a shared adventure with a lover. However she is forced to learn how to be independent of others as she capitalises on her innate talents and, at last, finds contentment and happiness through a chance encounter.
