Growing up in the Dockerty household in the austere years after World War Two, with a father who reigned supreme as head of the household and a mother who was duty bound, didn't bode well for a middle child who was defiant and rebellious. This is based on the story of Vivienne Dockerty's childhood, although the character names have been changed and some of the places. Her childhood moulded her into the teenager she became, looking for love in the wrong places and facing challenges through situations brought upon her from the choices she made.
