Publisher's Synopsis
Autumn, 1944. Doodlebugs are the latest threat to war-battered southern England. At the munitions factory, Em Earle is about to suffer a threat from much nearer home: local crook Samuel Golden is back and up to his old tricks, trying to find ways to exploit people's hardship for his own gain. As well as Samuel's unwanted attentions, Em has to deal with some huge revelations from within her own family. Her daughter Lizzie is pregnant, and a strange woman has turned up on Em's doorstep claiming to be her sister. Em is excited, but wary - could this woman be too good to be true?
