Publisher's Synopsis
The outbreak of war brings mixed feelings for Judy Truman, and it is a relief to get away from the East End and her disastrous marriage. With her two small daughters, she is evacuated to a Norfolk seaside town. Life becomes relaxed, the children flourish, and Judy's confidence returns. But when her husband Sid comes home on leave, he quickly shatters her new self-belief, and his violent jealousy frightens her. A young airman, Peter Gresham, teaches Judy that men can be gentle and loving - but living her life with Peter seems an impossible dream. And when shocking revelations from Sid's past come to light, Judy is horrified... With her hopes for the future crushed, Judy must concentrate on looking forward, and use her determination to carry her through.
