Will their secrets destroy them?
It has been fourteen years since the end of the Great War, and Grace doesn’t think she will ever get over losing the love of her life. She is a committed spinster aunt, despite her mother’s attempts to introduce her to eligible bachelors. When a stranger comes to town looking for work, her mother is immediately alert to possibilities. Grace admits he is handsome, but their first encounter was enough to put her off him for life.
Alex has been on the road with his three children for nearly two years, looking for work where he could find it. Times are tough and work hard to come by. Charlie Shore gave him hope he would find something long term — As long as it doesn’t involve Charlie’s sister, another opportunistic spinster looking for a man. He’s not going to fall for it.
Things change when circumstances throw Alex and Grace together to survive. But Alex has a secret that could destroy them all. And now Grace has a secret—one that won’t stay hidden.
This beautiful yet heartbreaking story drew me in to such an extent that not only did I find myself getting frustrated and angry with all the narrow-mindedness, judgemental attitudes and down right mean-spiritedness of people, but I also found my heart breaking for those hurt and suffering.
