Her relationship with him has inflicted wounds, which she can't forgive or forget. She feels threatened too, by Dev's best friend Chris, who sees himself, Cathy and Dav as bound in a kind of mystical triangle.</div> <div> Cathy's struggle to overcome the stresses of her new life and her attempts to find herself and regain her lost freedom makes an unusual and compelling love story that leads to a moving climax.</div> <div> Easy Freedom is the sequel to Easy Connections and set in the same vivid worlds of rock music and art. It is a gripping story about redemption and forgiveness, and also has much to say about the real problems faced by a girl with a vocation.'</div> <bR> <div> <I><B>Editions</B></I><I><B> <A NAME="editions"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></B></I></div> <div> <B>First published 1985</B></div> <div> Victor Gollancz Ltd.
