内容简介：
Shelley, mother of various children by different fathers, loves all her kids with a fierce passion. She has always defended Joey, her eldest, when he seemed out of control. But an eight-week-old baby, set alight in its pram by some rowdy youths - surely her Joey couldn't have been involved in that? In her heart she knows that he was there. And when the police arrive and take him away for questioning, she has to endure the primitive hostility of a neighborhood outraged by the death of an innocent child.
