Will the secrets be unearthed in time? Young Maryan Brown is hopelessly in love with her employers’ beloved son, their only child, the successful and suave Marcus Leigh. When she finds herself pregnant with his child, she knows the social gap between she and Marcus will keep them apart. But she is determined to provide a better life for her unborn baby and keeps the identity of the child’s father to herself… a secret that stays with her for far too long. Maryan marries Tom Jessop, her childhood sweetheart, hoping they can work together to bring up the baby, Amy, in better circumstances. But when the Second World War starts, Maryan’s life falls Tom is killed and Amy is evacuated to safety. As the years of war go by, the gaps between mother and daughter widen, and Amy starts to loathe her visits to London. When the end of the war forces her to return to London to stay with her mother, Amy rebels. Ambitious in her own way, she accepts the private school education her mother has arranged. But who is paying the fees? Why can’t her mother be open with her for once? It’s time for the secrets to be revealed, but will Maryan open up before Amy’s downward spiral leads her to a place of no return?
