Life on a "hand to mouth" basis is tough. This the Day family knew well. Pauline, just 14 was delivering a baby that would be adopted. This started a life of more uncertainty and error.

Difficulties with innocence and age brings on one mistake to another. Life goes on to treat her with almost happiness; then quickly drops another tragedy that proceeds with no mercy.

Searching for an existence becomes sad details that rule. Each event engulfs more hopelessness and it becomes a weird way of life. Pauline constantly grasps entanglements leading nowhere.

The question is - How and where misery, bad luck and unhappiness end?
