* HAS SHE THE STRENGTH TO FIGHT FOR THE LIFE SHE'S ALWAYS YEARNED FOR?

Phyllis Bird is twenty - five, a teacher, and still living with her parents in a quiet Hampshire village. With so many young men lost in the Great War, her future is without hope until she is offered the position of nursery maid in the London home of acclaimed playwright Harold Berridge.

Desperate to break out of her mundane existence, she decides to take it up.

Befriended by the actress Maud Ling and thrown into the glamorous world of the cinema, Phyllis falls passionately in love with Maud's younger brother Teddy. But Teddy's heart lies elsewhere.

Things go from bad to worse when tragedy strikes the Berridge household, and a heartbroken Phyllis is forced to leave.

Six months later, when Phyllis has started to rebuild her life, her world is turned upside down once more when she is invited to a party at Maud Ling's film studios.

For there she falls under the spell of the charming but devious American actor Denver Towers, with disastrous consequences...
