The former “ugly duckling”, an awkward, unhappy girl, abandoned by her father and mutilated by her mother, grew up into a rebel. Hippie communes, the Devil's Retinue biker gang, early marriage and early separation. Long-term loneliness. Remorse. Expecting the worst. Years have passed. The girl has grown up. She has a postcard shop in Bradford, a beloved godson, a helpless girlfriend and a relatively quiet life. And, alas, memories. Having accidentally committed a murder in her youth that was never solved, Billie Morgan lives with the consequences, remembers her crime every day and every day expects her prosperous life to be shattered into pieces - about a random word, a half-forgotten face, a photograph in a newspaper. What is a crime? What is atonement? "The Billie Morgan Story" is a novel about the courage it takes to live after doing the worst.
