But in reality Myrtle has been frozen for nearly forty years, locked into an emotionless marriage. So if the barriers have been lifted, why does she still feel trapped Her daughters are a mystery to her - one prickly and defensive, the other with a closely guarded secret.

And when nosy neighbour Dorothy discovers Myrtle's sad news, she also refuses to let her wallow. But Myrtle will never move on until she's dealt with her past and the reason for her devotion to Austin. The truth must out, even though the consequences might prove devastating for Myrtle and her daughters ...[^]0{#}Ulrika Jonsson is the Swedish born television presenter and media personality who won 2009's Celebrity Big Brother.
