Heartened by her new friendship with Sam and Maggie, Erin Craven, the teenage daughter of the abusive Al Craven, discovers in herself a growing confidence and strength in a crisis...

Dennis Lacey, a doctor new to the island, talks to Anna Craven about her daughter Erin's asthma attack and the strange bruise on her arm...
