Summary: July, 1962. The fastest milk bottle-delivery girl in East Yorkshire, 16-year-old Evie Epworth is tall as a tree and hot as the desert sand. She dreams of an independent life lived under the bright lights of London (or Leeds). The two posters of Adam Faith on her bedroom wall ("brooding Adam" and "sophisticated Adam") offer wise counsel about a future beyond rural Yorkshire. Her role models are Charlotte Bronte, Shirley MacLaine and the Queen. But, before she can decide on a career, she must first deal with her future step-mother, the manipulative and money-grabbing Christine. If Evie can rescue her bereaved father from Christine's pink and over-perfumed clutches, and save the farmhouse from being sold off then maybe she can move on with her own life and finally work out exactly who it is she is meant to be.
