Angels : Now a Major BBC TV Series, THE WALSH SISTERS (Walsh Family)

'I'd always lived a fairly blameless life . . . up until the day I left my husband and ran away to Hollywood . . .'

Unlike the rest of her family, Maggie Walsh has always done everything right. At thirty-three she has a proper job, is happily married to Garv and never puts a foot wrong. So why does she make a bolt for Hollywood and her best friend, Emily? In the City of Angels, Maggie gets to do things she's never done before: mixing with filmstars, pitching scripts, partying non-stop. But is this really a once-in-a-lifetime journey of self-discovery? Or is she simply running away from married life?
