Marianna's always pregnant mother and always drinking father had nothing to do with their eight-year-old daughter. The only person who showed any interest in her was their neighbor. He called the girl “my little lady” and showed her “how fairies kiss.” But one day a neighbor kissed her differently. And this kiss was far from the innocent caress of the named “dad.” The intimidated Marianne kept “their common secret” for many years, but at the age of thirteen the girl became pregnant. Fear of her neighbor, who had long ago turned from a friend into a tormentor, prevented her from telling the whole truth about who the child’s father was. The newborn daughter was given to foster parents, and the young mother returned home. And it all started all over again...

“I was seven when I first met this man - the one who called me “little lady.”

Marianne Marsh

Marianne Marsh had a terrible childhood. An unloved daughter in a dysfunctional family, with a constantly drunk father and a constantly pregnant and constantly beaten mother. She reached out and gained trust in the first person who treated her with fatherly affection and tenderness. The girl considered this man, old enough to be her father, to be a true friend, but the “best friend,” having won the love of the child, cruelly deceived little Marianne. He used her to satisfy his dirty desires. Marianne gave birth to two daughters from this man: the first at thirteen, the second at sixteen.

To save her life and the life of her second, unborn child, Marianne runs away from her parents' home. What will her fate be? Will she be able to forget everything and forgive everything?
