Description
Will her past ruin her future, or could this be the start of something new?When Olive receives a letter in the post from the father of her daughter American soldier, Joe she is shocked. Not only is he losing his sight and, after years of no contact, suddenly wanting to reconnect, but Olive has to decide whether or not to reveal that she has been lying all these years to the man she married who believes himself to be Joanna's father.
Luckily for Olive, Theo is angling for a divorce so he can marry his mistress. But between her mother's judgement and buying her own home, Olive is facing hardships from every angle.
When her old friend, Josh, comes back into her life, they rekindle a spark Olive thought was long-dormant. But can she trust the man who kept so many secrets from her in the past?
A compelling and dramatic family saga, perfect for fans of Kitty Neale, Anna Jacobs and Dilly Court.
