Description
Another page-turning story of tragedy and triumph from the No.1 bestselling author of The Loner and The Journey.
In the sleepy Lancashire village of Salmesbury, childhood sweethearts Emily and John are secretly planning a life together when they are cruelly forced apart.
Already abandoned by her father, and unhappy at home, Emily is heartbroken when John leaves the village. Her life takes a devastating turn for the worse when she gives birth to a child. She dare not reveal the identity of the child's father or there will be a terrible price to pay.
Many miles away, John is trying to forget Emily and forge a new life. Having carried her in his heart for years, a chance encounter leads him to believe she has forgotten him.
Emily has never been able to banish thoughts of John. But when it looks as though history is about to repeat itself, Emily must put the past β and John β behind her and safeguard her daughter. But can she forget him?
