Is their love strong enough to weather the storm?
It's 1945, the war is over and the soldiers are coming back to the bomb-ravaged East End. Tom Smith is one of the thousands who are returning home. He can't wait to see his wife, Jessie, their son, Billy, and the new baby daughter he hasn't even laid eyes on.
But life back home wasn't easy, especially once Jessie's army pension was stopped after Tom deserted. So when she was told to put her infant daughter Emma-Rose into a home for her own good, she thought it was for the best. But how will Tom take the news? And how will he react when he learns that Jessie's old boyfriend has been helping her during the war?
A compelling family drama set in London, perfect for fans of Katie Flynn and Mary Collins.
Sally Worboyes was born and grew up in Stepney with four brothers and a sister, and she brings some of her own family background to her East End sagas. She now lives in Norfolk with her husband, with whom she has three grown-up children. She has written several plays which have been broadcast on Anglia Television and Radio Four. She also adapted her own play and novel, WILD HOPS, as a musical, The Hop Pickers.
