In this intimate portrait, Sue Whatmough falls pregnant at eighteen and discovers the parental love she had taken for granted is dependent on good behaviour. Her happy childhood is over.

Sue's entertaining journey from the early sixties to the late eighties, highlights the emergence of a new perspective on sex and women's liberation. The upheavals of her personal life are offset by her successful career in the television industry and her sardonic expos of the casting process is unique and revealing.

Her indomitable spirit and humorous outlook have combined to create a memoir as uplifting as it is poignant.

'I loved the whole atmosphere of the book. Sue manages to capture the era of the sixties perfectly, not just with her descriptions of life in London on the pill but the changing attitudes of young women to sex and the opposite sex. The confusion many of us felt about taking drugs or drinking or free love. She engaged me from Page one and I thoroughly enjoyed the book to the end.' LYNDA BELLINGHAM
