There is no joy in Helen Merling's household, no love. Her mother cowers to
her severe and controlling father, and Helen tried to follow suit. But she
yearns to be loved and made to feel special.
When she meets an actor - whose profession is a common and disgusting to
her father - on the way home from market one day, Helen is swept off her
feet. She soon succumbs to this handsome young man's charms, but Robert
Perriman is nothing but a cheating philanderer. Pergnancy and marriage
follow swiftly, with the door of the family home closed to Helen for ever.
Will Helen suffer a lifetime of drudgery as the deceitful, vicious Perriman
gambles away their savings? Or will she find the love she's always searched
for?
