It had only been a couple of weeks since Sadie came to London from Yorkshire. She had been staying with her nan and granddad in Walthamstow whilst the new flat in Heston was being finished. She felt a little nervous when her mum Cora and her stepdad Alfie came to pick her up, and she wondered what life would be like for her in the new area. It was surprisingly easy for her to make new friends, and reassuring to know that some of them were going to be starting at the same school as her. It had been almost 4 years, since she went to live with Alfie and Cora, and it is her hope that their new home will make Cora happy, so that she treats her more kindly. She is shocked beyond belief, when she discovers that it is not only Cora who she needs to fear.

Sadie Johnson is 6 years old and doesn't remember much about her life prior to this time. She is a mixed race child with a mainly absent mother, who has gone off to live her own life and has left her living with her maternal grandparents Levi and Kathleen. Her home is a dilapidated terraced house in a deprived area of Manchester which is earmarked for slum clearance. With no electric, very few toys and a 1960s society which is intolerant of white women with black men, and the children who are a result of those unions, Sadie feels like an outsider. Living with her Irish Catholic grandmother, and her Rumanian Jewish grandfather, and an auntie who is just 8 years older than her, and used to being the baby of the household, life was never going to be easy. She attended a school where she was the only black child in her class, and the teacher is a nun who makes her racist views clear. Sadie lives for the day that either her mum Cora, or her dad Clyde will let her come and live with one of them. She knows her dad wants her with him, but her mum won't agree to it. When she is eventually told she is going to live with her mum, she is over the moon. It doesn't occur to her that when this happens, the changes it brings about will affect her entire life.
