When nine-year-old orphan Georgia James is unexpectedly fostered by the kindly Celia and her bank manager husband, she can hardly believe her luck. But then - on her fifteenth birthday - she suffers the cruellest betrayal of all, at the hands of her foster father and is forced to run away, leaving everything she loves behind her.

Fired by a fierce ambition, blessed with an extraordinary voice, her long struggle for fame and fortune begins.
