Her lover, Michael Maurice, is away fighting, and news is scarce. When a mysterious man appears, asking questions about Mary Anne and claiming to have news of an unexpected legacy, Henry pretends he doesn't know of her whereabouts. But Biddy Young thinks she's doing Mary Anne a favour by passing on her address. But sinister events begin to occur - a fire, a stolen child and a theft - and Mary Anne must draw on all her resilience and determination to survive these disturbing and difficult times.
