About this ebook

“Fans of light historical fiction will enjoy this novel” of two unwed mothers in post-WWII Liverpool whose lives converge as secrets come to light (Booklist).
 
In 1942, two young women, Dorothy Wilson and Lynne Donegan, give birth in a home for unwed mothers. Thirteen years later, Dorothy is a successful actress, offered her first major role in a feature film. But it will mean spending time apart from her policeman boyfriend Sam—when all Sam wants to do is settle down and start a family. Meanwhile, Lynne, having lost her childhood sweetheart in the war, is bringing up her daughter on her own, eking out a meagre living as a dressmaker.
 
Though their lives have taken widely divergent paths in the intervening years, Dorothy and Lynne’s lives are about to cross paths again—in ways neither could have predicted. For both women are keeping secrets from their loved ones: secrets that are destined to burst into the open, changing the two women’s lives forever.
 
“Francis effectively captures postwar Liverpool and uses her younger characters to foreshadow the youthquake that will soon sweep England.” —Booklist

Author

June Francis

June Francis’ introduction to stories was when her father came home from the war and sat her on his knee and told her tales from Hans Christian Anderson. Being a child during such an austere period, her great escape was the cinema where she fell in love with Hollywood movies, loving in particular musicals and Westerns. Years later, after having numerous articles published in a women's magazine, she knew that her heart really lay in the novel and June has been writing ever since.
