For the Love of Willie

Peggy is turning a dark girlhood romance into a novel and is trying to get her fellow inmate at the mental hospital, known as the Duchess, to read the manuscript. Frankly the duchess would prefer a Mills and Boon, but her friend's wartime tragi-comedy soon gets a grip on her imagination. 'For the Love of Willie' is a compassionate look at wartime pregnancy and teenage predicaments through the eyes of Peggy, first as a shy sixteen year-old in love and later as an inmate in a psychiatric hospital.
