Its 1942 and Dorothy Taylor- now eighteen- dreams of distant lands far from the grey backstreets of Rotherhithe where she has spent all her life. As the war rages on- excitement comes in the form of the Americans posted in London. Although Dolly is engaged to Tony- a boy from her street who has been called up- she cant help but fall in love with Joe- a dashing American GI who eventually asks her to marry him. But America is not all she imagined it would be- and shes shocked by the cool welcome Joes mother gives her. As she struggles to make friends and understand the man shes married- Dorothy begins to realise that she made a terrible mistake when she walked away from Tony- and wonders if he even remembers the innocent young girl who broke his heart. Only when she returns to Rotherhithe can she find out if there is still a chance of happiness for the two of them....
