Following World War I, an English wife and mother faces a battle of her own, struggling to keep her family together in this moving saga.
The Great War is over, and Kate is ready to welcome back Eliot with open arms. But her husband is a changed man. Kate has become used to her independence, and Eliot’s return creates tensions both at work and at home, particularly with Kate’s son, Callum.
It tears Kate apart to see such strife between the two men she loves most. And her sister-in-law seems determined to stir up the animosity in order to benefit her own son. But when tragedy strikes, Kate cannot imagine just how much trouble Lucy's ambition can cause . . .
Perfect for fans of Val Wood and Katie Flynn.
