Publisher's Synopsis
Louise Hart has endured a great deal of pain from her callous husband Paul, but one December night in 1959 she and her son Davey escape their Coventry high-rise flat and flee to Tanglewood, the dilapidated mansion where her mother Dolly runs an animal sanctuary. Louise longs to turn her back on the past and create a new life for Davey, but Paul is in trouble with men more dangerous than himself. He blackmails Louise and her family, and even the arrival of Charlie Fox, a stranger who becomes a true friend, cannot guarantee that the future will be safe.
