AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'The year is 1970 and Rowena Sonner has just finished school. Torn between the expectations of her upper middle-class background and her own yearnings to experiment with life, she rebels violently against her parents and all their accompanying ethics and values.
'In search for a life of her own she realises the never-ending possibilities of change that exist for both herself and for those around her. In exploring these possibilities she discovers her own sexuality and ability to love; the importance of always fighting to preserve the things one loves and holds dear; and developing the ability to always learn from the past, and the strength and perseverance to start afresh.'
