So the news that Kitty, the woman she has always called Mum, is not her real mother comes as an earth-shattering blow. And when Celia, her natural mother, re-enters Katie's life her world is turned completely upside down. She feels she must leave the Arcadia - to which she now has no right - and move in with Celia. With her fondness for ballroom dancing and a flutter on the horses, this new Mum could not be a greater contrast to the old. Katie is tormented by her divided loyalties and a question Celia will not answer - who is her real father? Though she desperately misses her old home and family, Katie is a courageous and resourceful girl and she sets about making a new life for herself. And falling for photographer Patrick goes a long way to mending the wounds... But the hurt Katie feels will never entirely go away. Not until she knows whose 'somebody's girl' she is.
