Publisher's Synopsis
"Where there is discord, may we bring harmony." Margaret Thatcher - election night victory speech 1979.
Five years later, and reality is somewhat different.
Class warfare, bitter strikes, CND marches, anti-fascist movements, mass unemployment, and the constant threat of the cold war, will pit father against son, community against community and government against the very people they're supposed to represent.
In this toxic and barren landscape, two flowers sprout through the cracks in the pavement--their names... hope and love.
Jimmy is from the wrong part of town. Denied work, without money and with a bleak future ahead, there's not much reason to get out of bed each morning--but every day he does. He has one thing left that many have already forsaken--hope!
Little does he know his orbit is on a collision course with another world that will change his life forever.
