She is employed in a greeting card company called Ill Will. This company was started with the belief that the English people are atrociously rude to the people close to them and their friends and they easily find ways to achieve exemption from punishment. Even Tanya Stephens is brainwashed to believe that there is no point in having boyfriends or friends. In her youth, she had only one true lover and numerous boyfriends. Most of her boyfriends seemed too keen, mind-numbingly boring, or too needy to her.

Tanya Stephens is currently dating a boyfriend named Richard. He is a carpet-fitter by profession. Tanya has kept a relationship with him only for the sex part. Other than him, she is also seeing Carl, who works as a road sweeper. Tanya is attracted towards Carl because he also loves books like her. She finds happiness in reading books. Occasionally, Tanya Stephens reads a few chapters of her favorite books or keeps herself immersed in the dark imaginations of her own. Sometime later, she comes across a book in a second-hand bookstore that ostensibly describes her own life. Tanya becomes so much mesmerized by that book that the line between reality and truth begins to become blurred for her. She begins to question her own existence and wonders if her true love is happy with his marriage to another woman and working for a good company in Swansea.

   David is Betty’s son, Hephzibar’s grandson
   Veronica is the grand-daughter of John and Sarah Cowles and I am the grand-daugher of Maud (no E) born 1903, who married Allen (Never known as Albert)
   Wild. They had two children, Allen Ryan, who died aged 2years and Aline Maureen (my mother) who is still living.
   There was never any Gladys in our family.

   I am grateful for someone being interested and I have been in touch with David since the start of the year.
   I knew his parents very well, ‘Betty and Steve’.
   They attended or at least were invited to all our important family events until Betty and Steve were not well enough to travel to the UK.
   Betty was very close to my grandparents and mother.
