Because it's never too late to say sorry
The Catholic meaning of Joy is Jesus-Others-Yourself. After they lost her mother ten years ago Joy has worked hard to replace her, looking after her father and their home beside the beach in isolation on the wild Norfolk coast.
As she approaches her 21st birthday, Joy is content and wants her life to remain exactly as it is, but when her life falls apart she believes that God is punishing her for being such a bad person. A nun tells Joy that God has torn down her defences because unless she faces up to the past and learns to like herself then she cannot hope to find happiness in the future. Follow Joy on her journey of self-discovery to an unknown destiny.
