As the new housekeeper at Harbour House, Lily Turner and her teenage daughter Daphne have forged a resilient life since Lily's husband Patrick abandoned them. But as war rages, Patrick, now vital to the war effort, is dispatched to Wivenhoe shipyard, forcing him to confront his past-and Lily-once more.
He's no longer the reckless boy who deserted his family; hardened by the years, he's determined to make amends. Yet, for Lily, the scars of abandonment run deep, and forgiveness is a luxury she's not sure she can afford. But she finds this new version of Patrick intriguing nonetheless..
With the Blitz intensifying and German bombers pounding Britain, life is precarious. When Patrick, Lily, and Daphne are thrust together amidst an air raid, the roar of bombs forces a stark realization: in war's shadow, life is for living, and past regrets are a burden too heavy to carry.
Praise for Fenella J. Miller:
'Yet again, Fenella Miller has thrilled me with another of her historical stories. She brings alive a variety of emotions and weaves in facts relating to the era, all of which keep me reading into the small hours.' Glynis Peters
'Curl up in a chair with Fenella J Miller's characters and lose yourself in another time and another place.' Lizzie Lane
'Engaging characters and setting which whisks you back to the home front of wartime Britain. A fabulous series!' Jean Fullerton
