It is 1971, Julia Allsop is ten years old and longs to be a princess. She has given up waiting for her mother to come home, and when her father brings back a horrid new stepmother, Sylvia Quinn, she begins to realise that she is living in a different kind of fairytale. Confused and damaged by her parents' acrimonious divorce, she is greatly in awe of the King family at the Palace Hotel, and she develops a crush on their eldest son, Christopher. At the age of nineteen she is astonished and overjoyed when he asks her to marry him. Determined to be the perfect bride, Julia slims and smiles, and looks so beautiful on her wedding day that she wins the hearts of everyone in Kingshaven - except, tragically that of her husband, who unknown to her had lost his heart to another woman ten years before...
