THE PERFECT GIFT FOR FANS OF DILLY COURT AND ROSIE CLARKE

An uplifting and heartfelt tale of love, loss and family from the bestselling author of The Winter Child, The Orphan of Farthing Street and Her Mother's Daughter
'A heartwarming and uplifting tale, much like the author's own experience' Daily Express

----

1949, London.


The war is over. Angie Westwood's hardships should be behind her. But when her young cousin Jane suddenly dies, Angie's life changes forever.

Jane's untimely death leaves poor Danny, her three-year-old son, all alone. With the identity of the boy's father a mystery, Angie adopts her orphaned nephew and sets out to give him the one thing he needs most: family.

But after retreating to the Sawyer's farm for some peace of mind, Angie is about to discover far more than she bargained for.

What if finding Danny's father means losing him to a stranger?

Will she risk it all for a chance at love and family?
