Men on White Horses by PAMELA HAINES dramatised for radio by SHIRLEY GEE

It was her adored Uncle Frederick who first told Edwina about the white horses of the sea. But it was when she touched the piano that they were really alive. Through her childhood, through her days at the convent, through her first friendships and love, through the shadow that hung so menacingly over her life, it was the brightness of her musical talent that gave her the will to survive.
