About this listen

Peggy Lighterman vows she will never be like her father. His was a life blighted by alcohol addiction and an untimely demise. Hers is one of placid fulfillment in the urban sprawl of Bermondsey.

But Peggy’s life is turned upside down by a series of tragic events. A drink to fill the empty void soon escalates into a downward spiral until she meets Dr. Theo Hither, a psychiatrist who has witnessed first-hand the trauma of mental illness in his brother and is fiercely protective of those marginalized by society. Help to rebuild her shattered existence breathes hope into a life that she thought had disappeared forever.

There are frequent flashbacks to Peggy’s life growing up on a closely knit 1930s London housing estate. Peggy’s mental health is precious, and the power of words could mean the power to change.

She is offered the chance to catch her when she falls, but how will society finally roll the dice in determining her fate?
