Description

Four-year-old Eleanor is forced to accept her mother's religious beliefs, that her whole life has already been written, and that she has no choice but to honour and accept her parents' plans for her. Subject to abuse by an Islamic teacher, and witness to scenes of violence inflicted by her father, Eleanor finds her only refuge at school, where she dreams of a life beyond the hills of her hometown of Ashcroft, England. A mysterious woman befriends Eleanor - showing her a world of choice and freedom.

Caught between her parents' cultural values and her own desires, Eleanor must decide whether to honour her parents' wishes - a life locked in marriage to the hands of an abuser - or rewrite her own story. Written is the heart-wrenching story of a young girl's struggle for freedom, and the uncovering of an intricate plan laced around forty years of secrets, betrayal and lies, in a family desperate to preserve their culture and honour.
