Publisher's Synopsis
"A potent mix of passion and suspense" EVENING HERALD London, 1947. For the Angel family, it seems as if their prospects are as bleak as the bitterly cold winter which is drawing in. There is one ray of sunshine: Lizzie Angel. She always seems to bring hope and happiness to those around her, whether it's her dad struggling to support the family on meagre wages, or her childhood sweetheart Rob Thompson, traumatised by the horrors of war. When Rob wants to start a new life in Australia, Lizzie must choose between the man she loves and her family, who she fears will never forgive her.
