Following the untimely death of her parents, Lizzie Sargent is cruelly separated from her young brother Billy and left to fend for herself. She finds work and vows to return for Billy as soon as she can afford to, but although those times arrive sooner than expected, fate conspires to keep brother and sister apart. Too innocent to appreciate her own beauty, too young to tell between the lust men harbour and the love they feel, Lizzie's path to womanhood takes many unexpected turns before she is finally reunited with her beloved brother - and the man to whom her heart belongs.
From tramping the poverty-ridden streets of Brighton to owning a successful beauty parlour, Lizzie never forgets her promise to her family, or the silver joey that hangs around her neck - and gives her hope - wherever she goes...
