It also exposes the shortcomings of justice, particularly in small rural communities where appearances and prejudice often prevail. Marion Sharpe and her mother, two women living in a small English town, must defend themselves against accusations from war orphan Betty Kane, who claims to have been kidnapped and abused by them.
