A VERY LOUD VOICE: It is 1920, and Inga Abott is left in the care of her pushy grandmother, Margot, after her father dies in the war and her mother deserts her to run away with a married man. With a promising voice, Margot thrusts her into the pressures of the local music scene, to brighten the tarnished family reputation. But all Inga longs for is to settle down, with her mother and half brother. She spends her teenage years split between these two worlds until a terrible accident puts the burden of family responsibility onto her shoulders.
