'Brilliantly written and researched . . . I loved it.' - Rosie Goodwin

Dover 1941

With World War II in full swing, the unexpected arrival of a stranger at Pearson's Garage throws Edie Castle's life into chaos as she's forced to move back to Castle's Cafe with her family. Living with her mother is never easy, but when tragedy strikes, long-buried memories come to the surface, and Edie's world starts to crumble around her. No longer sure who she can trust, Edie is forced to consider leaving the town she loves - or risk ruining her family's reputation for good.

At the cafe, a friend in need of a place to stay brings chaos into Nellie's life. But when Edie turns against her and the cafe itself comes under fire, Nellie realises that her troubles are about to get a lot worse.
