In the time that this story is set women are seen as house wives and secretaries, not as successful women who have a life for their own. Marie's family own a Uranium company in South Australia and she is the heiress to the fortune, her parents want her to be married off and have lots of children. Marie didn't know what she wanted until she met Charlie, he changed her life for the better. This short story was written for a school assignment and hopefully in the future I may extend the story and make it into a novel
