Helen and her family live in a world we all know, with the fridge to be defrosted, the car to be mended, jealousy, untidiness and a shortage of money.

Helen and her brother are edgy; both have their own best friends; home, school and music clash alarmingly. Plenty of twists and surprises and emotional gulps before flowing harmony comes, eventually.
