A humble soldier wakes in a military hospital with no recollection of his past. Jones has only a few horrifying memories of the battlefield at Ypres, and his identity becomes a puzzle he must solve.

A stunning seamstress dreams of her own high-fashion salon in London. After a fated meeting with Jones, Eden Valentine is driven to help the soldier by something more than charity.

A mysterious and aristocratic man may hold the key to Jones's past - and to Eden's future. But the news that he bears will bring shattering consequences that threaten to tear their lives apart.

The Tailor's Girl is a heart-stopping story of true love and courage from a phenomenal Australian storyteller.
