Publisher's Synopsis
As Ken Barlow, Roache has led a stormy life. From early on, he was beset by romantic problems. The wild fling his third wife, Deirdre had with his arch-enemy Mike Baldwin, so gripped the nation that news of its ending was reported in "The Times" and The House of Commons. But William Roache's private life has also had its share of trauma; with his second wife, Sara McEwen, he endured the unforgivable death of their daughter. Then, in 1991 he won a libel case against "The Sun".
