Extracts from a Different Life In 1965, bullied and tormented because of her looks and her surname, and betrayed by adults she should have been able to trust - 7 year old Joyce Rawbottom escapes into a world of her own imagination. She sees ghosts all around her and the abuse she suffers as a child evokes vivid dreams and memories of torture and agony endured as a soul who has lived many times before. As Joyce grows older predatory men sense her vulnerability, and she seems destined to be a victim for the rest of her life. Enter Jade Stone - in 2012 following a freak car crash, Jade realises that during seizures brought on by the accident, she can revisit episodes in her own past. Is it possible Jade can go back in time to be the friend that Joyce has prayed for and save her from decades of violence and cruelty?
