1901 in the north of England a wealthy family man, gives his daughters newly born illegitimate baby boy to chosen adoptive parents together with a lump sum of money for his education.

The daughter is sent to America to live with relatives.

John, a happy and content child is raised in Simons Town, South Africa. When his parents decide to return to England, he discovers by chance that he is adopted. Traumatised by this and the death of his father John struggles to suppress his shame and disillusionment.

Love comes to him through Molly, but is dramatically brought to an end when she dies after giving birth to their daughter. Distraught by further grief he turns to alcohol for comfort.

As a reporter he lives through his work. He travels to America and falls in love with the lovely Victoria Delaney, whose life is also blighted with shame and secrets. Their secrets have one thing in common, her father. This secret has an enormous impact on their relationship. Family history repeats itself. John refuses to search out the truth, and yet he eventually comes face to face with circumstances beyond his control.

Author

Pamela Darling

Pamela was born in 1944, eldest child of four and raised in post-war London, when few expectations were held for girls to aspire. She worked as a shorthand typist at fifteen, married at nineteen and has one surviving daughter. Her second husband of thirty-five years remains her greatest ally. After many years of devoting her time caring for the elderly and counselling people from all walks of life she now devotes time to two hobbies, water-colour painting and writing. She is in contact with writers from a creative writing course, and from where the idea for “One Hidden Truth” was conceived and developed. Pamela lives with the condition Fibromyalgia, so both the writing and art can be interrupted by episodes of poor health. Her family and friends are incredibly proud of her determination and her pen name is an acknowledgement of her husband’s love and support to his “Pamela Darling”.
