Publisher's Synopsis
Daisy is devastated when her lover, Percy, abandons her and her mother throws her out, having first forced the girl to give up her baby son for adoption. War is imminent, and she is evacuated to the Lake District, where after several horrific billets, she tracks down her black-sheep aunt, Florrie, and together they set up a guest house. Daisy meets and falls in love with a young airman, Harry, but is afraid to tell him of her past, and the longer she keeps quiet, the harder it is to tell the truth.
The guest house is full of eccentric characters, and all of them use Daisy's houlder to cry on. But when Percy turns up holding a baby, Daisy is torn between her yearning to reclaim her son and her love for Harry.
