He made a vow, but will he be able to keep it?
Ever since Jimmy was a boy, he's known two things: the rough streets of Merthyr Tydfil and that one day he would marry Enid Hardcastle. But when Enid disappears without a word, his life takes a different turn.
Determined to make something of himself, Jimmy pours his heart into his job at Mr Baxter's workshop, dreaming of the future he and Enid might one day share. Yet, just as his hard work begins to pay off, a man arrives claiming to be Mr Baxter's illegitimate son, threatening Jimmy's chance of inheriting the business he was promised.
With Enid gone and his future uncertain, Jimmy must rely on his wits and instincts honed from his childhood on the streets. But can he trust this newcomer? And will his dream of reuniting with Enid ever come true?
A heartwarming and gripping historical saga, perfect for fans of Katie Flynn and AnneMarie Brear.
