As the only white person in her husband's large family, Samantha Williams has had to counter the racial assumptions from his family and from her own. It hasn't been easy, but she gives as good as she gets and her father's disapproval of casual Kev didn't stop her getting married to him.

For once, she questions her ability to balance both sides of the family - and whether her love for Kev is enough.
