Dependable Terry offers security but has the mother from hell! After Megan takes an extra job with the wealthy Celia Bevington her life is spent in two worlds, one of refinement and ease, the other amidst the earthy camaraderie of 'the girls' in the pottery factory . But only when the mystery surrounding her inherited silver hairbrush is solved, does she discover a shocking and tragic family secret. And when she does fall in love Will Megan have the courage to take the step that will transform her life?
