Wellington is a wonderful place to live. Growing up in the 60s and 70s can be idyllic. You live with people you love, you work, and you know the whole city. Until you are raped by a group, led by the man at his engagement to your best friend.
People will believe in someone who means something to them. Toni tried to tell her best friend about the rape, but how could he have done it? She was turned against by her friends and couldn’t face her future.
Toni left to live in Brisbane, Australia, finding a different, wonderful city which she felt good in. She worked, she lived, and she dated a very nice new guy.
But soon her past would catch up with her. Her previous best friend, who had turned against her in Wellington, ended up in Brisbane, with a broken arm, and came to stay with Toni. Her husband, who had broken her arm - and who had led the rape of Toni - would also turn up looking for his wife. And Toni.
Her life was back into her own history and she had to get past it.
