Publisher's Synopsis
At The Pavilion Theatre, the cast prepares for their latest Christmas pantomime. But when tragedy strikes, Josephine's Peacock's happy world shatters... a very different life lay ahead.
Her mother's ailing health brings further worry, and the cruelty of the man charged with taking care of them fills Josephine with fear. What will become of them?
The arrival of Clement Thornton, a sincere friend, offers everyone a glimmer of hope.
As the years roll by, Josephine learns the value of family and friendship, but with the imminent failure of the theatre, she and Clement must do all they can to save the company, the only family they know.
Will this be a happy Christmas for Josephine? Or will her dreams of a theatrical life remain only a longing?
