English Summary/英文概要： Growing up in a small seaside town, Marcie Brooks dreams of owning a Mary Quant mini-skirt, the Beatles, and escape. Instead she’s stuck in a dead-end job selling candy floss to tourists and with a crazy family. Her grandmother sees ghosts, her step-mother is unable to control her growing family and Marcie’s father is usually in and out of prison or away ‘working’ for East End gangsters.
Despite it all, Marcie adores her father, but Tony’s light fingers and hard man reputation mean most people give the Brooks family a wide birth. Sometimes Marcie even wishes she had a respectable dad like her friend Rita; well-groomed, wealthy by local standards and surprisingly attentive to a teenage girl.
But when she discovers Tony may have had something to do with her real mother’s absence, Marcie finds her friend’s father is more than just a shoulder to cry on…
When she loses her first love and ends up an unmarried mother, it looks like she’ll never escape her small town.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是个有关追梦女孩的故事
海边的小镇姑娘，每天做着成为时尚界大师的梦想，
可惜命运不济，家中一团糟，母亲下落不明，父亲是监狱里的常客，
又和好友的父亲诞下一子，成为未婚妈妈，生活对她而言真是糟糕透了。
她的未来在哪里？她能成为明日的时尚界新秀吗？
而她的母亲到底去了哪里？
带着孩子的未婚妈妈，在伦敦这座大城市打拼，她将遇见什么问题？ Marcie从小生长在一座海边小镇，一心幻想着有天能够拥有一条Mary Quant牌迷你裙和披头士的专辑，她想要逃。
残酷的现状是Marcie只能向游客兜售棉花糖，以此为生，工作前景一片黯淡。她的家中成员个个举止疯狂，有个号称能够看见鬼魂的祖母，一个无力操持家庭的继母，以及不是出入监狱，就是与抢匪为伍的父亲。
尽管如此，Marcie还是很仰慕自己的父亲，但是由于父亲小偷小摸，在镇上恶名狼藉，所以有时Marcie难免幻想着要是父亲像好友Rita的父亲那样有教养、富有那该多好，显然，这位男人对Marcie有着巨大的吸引力。
在Marcie发现亲生母亲的失踪与父亲有关后，她发现好朋友的父亲不仅仅是最佳的哭诉对象，似乎还意味着其它……
然而，在她的初恋狼狈收尾，成为未婚妈妈后，感觉她永远走不出这座小镇了。(YM)
