When her stepmother was killed suddenly two years ago, Emma Sparrow found herself having to run the household and look after her father and her three step-siblings, as well as hold down a full time job. Now twenty, she is a woman of unbreakable spirit and quiet pride, and nothing - not the drabness of her life in a small Lancashire town , not the relentless drudgery of her home life nor the boredom of her job in a factory - can stop her from reaching for the stars. But Emma's happiness lies with Simon Martin , and Simon is the boss's son. Between them stand the differences of class and background - a huge gulf that threatens to destroy Emma's one chance for a true and lasting love. Not to mention the fact that Simon is already in a relationship with a very nice girl called Chloe . Can Emma find that better, more exciting and fulfilling life she dreams of?
