DESCRIPTION:
Under extraordinary circumstances, Pamela invites him into her comfortable suburban home. Then, as she crosses a bridge over the Thames in London, her unsettled life collides with that of a ragged young man who has survived for months on London’s streets, getting by on his wits and his looks.
