Publisher's Synopsis
A woman carries a baby girl through an East European revolution to safety in the UK; the mother dead, the father badly injured and presumed dead. She forms a strong bond with the child unaware that the father lives and is thereby able to observe and fund her care from a distance.
After a lifetime of misgiving, he meets his adult daughter but cannot confess his relationship for fear of alienating her and disturbing her love for her stepmother for whom he has a high regard and therefore continues his benevolence unable to dismiss his dilemma.
Anxieties and regrets for a life blighted by the consequences of flawed decisions are resolved by the love of friends and family, which triumphs over the mistakes of the past.
