Sadie just wants to get their lives back on track.

MY REVIEW
At the hight of Sadie Ropers career she got pregnant, then disappeared to America. With a failed marriage, due to her husband went off with someone else. Now years later Sadie has returned back to live London. With her daughter Robin now nearly eleven in school, Sadie is in hope of her old job back. But her boss isn’t impressed with Sadie, he thinks she can’t just waltz in expecting to get back her old job back.
There’s lots of things Sadie is keeping to herself.
What seems to be a story about Sadie’s failed marriage, and trying to work again gets rather ugly, with a surprise ending.
