The perfect marriage? Or the perfect lie? Jack has looks and wealth, Grace has charm and elegance. You might not want to like them, but you do. You d like to get to know Grace better. But it s difficult, because Jack and Grace are never apart. Some might call this true love. Others might ask why Grace never answers the phone. And why there are bars on one of the bedroom windows. Sometimes, the perfect marriage is the perfect lie.
My name is Ruby. I live with Barbara and Mick. They're not my real parents, but they tell me what to do and what to say. I'm supposed to say that my bruises and black eye came from falling down the stairs. But there are things I won't say. I won't tell them I'm going to hunt for my real parents. I'm going to be with my real family. And I'm not going to let Mick stop me.'
