The book is a story of a 27-year-old Canadian woman who is miserable, according to the book. She had been a heavy drug user her whole life, in addition to drinking beer, smoking cigarettes, and using drugs. She was dismissed from the University of London, a confederation of several colleges and institutions, while pursuing her master's degree there, and she was then deported back to her home country of Canada. The news source claims that she was discovered to have cocaine on her while on university property, leading to her expulsion from the school and her deportation from London. Her parents did all they could to help her make a permanent change, but it was not to no avail. Since returning to Canada, she has carried on with her life in London, which has resulted in her becoming pregnant unintentionally by her father's personal driver, John, and in her parents pressuring her to wed a man she doesn't like. She chose to lead a thoughtless and carefree life, even though she was her parents' only child and they loved her dearly. John, who also happened to be the father of her unborn child, helped her go from a heroin addict to a devoted housewife.
