Leaving HER Behind
Leaving Her Behind is about four women as they seek belonging, chase their dreams and hold on to the bonds of sisterhood against a backdrop of change and suspense. Hope clutches the rail, her heart races with fear and excitement. She has left behind Whitby for an exciting new world ̶ and for Frank Palmer. But Hope soon discovers that love, fame and ambition can tangle together in dangerous ways. Back in England, Pearl and Violet step into their own spotlight, as their theatre troupe is invited to perform in London’s prestigious West End. For Violet, it’s a dream come true ̶ but for Pearl, the stage hides secrets. Meanwhile, Ralph, a fairground worker with a troubled past, and Belle, a woman haunted by dangerous men, fight to carve out a future amid the noise of the travelling fairs. Their struggle highlights that every ending is really another curtain rising, whether it is in the bright lights of New York, the glittering theatres of London, or the narrow streets of Whitby.
