Olive Branch

This is the story of one woman.

But it's not just one woman's story.

It's also about family.

A daughter of Greek Cypriot parents who came to the United Kingdom in the fifties, for better prospects and education for a future family.

Growing up in a household ruled by obedience, respect and discipline.

As her fathers' business became successful she had to spend any spare time helping out and this became her first insight into another world.

She met and fell in love with an Englishman, the suffocation she already felt exploded into ostracism by her family.

Events have determined the woman she is today and this forthright and truthful account is one woman's determination to succeed.
