Love is stretched to breaking point in this vivid novel, based on the author's own experiences. 'We save each other, don't we, when we are in love.' It has been 28 years since Vicki last sent a letter to Robert Muldoon. Last time she wrote, he was Prime Minister, while she was living with her loser-boyfriend and wanting to know why people like her had to exist in such dire straits. Back then, Muldoon sent her a dollar, but it was the irrepressible Billy who appeared in her life and transformed it. This time Muldoon is dead and it is Billy who has made her so desperate she doesn't know where to turn. Since running away with Billy, Vicki has barely looked back. Together they have become a family and prospered. They have survived so much, but can they survive Billy's increasingly erratic behaviour, especially when he seems so set on pulling them apart?
