The World Within

By Bethany Askew

Set in the 1970s, a time when it was socially unacceptable to be an unmarried mother, this is the story of nineteen-year-old Jemma who is forced to abandon her plans for a career when she finds out she is pregnant.
Trapped at home with a baby, intellectually stifled and missing all her friends who have gone away to study, Jemma seems to have made the wrong choice.
But has she?
In a different version of events we follow Jemma as she goes through university, meets new people, makes new friends and relationships, and embarks on the career she always wanted.
This look at alternative reality leaves you to wonder if you would be any happier if your life had taken a different course.
