A girl with nothing left to lose . . .
The Great War opened up an exciting new career for Vi in London. But that was yesterday. Now the war’s over, her husband is dead and she needs to pick up the pieces of her life.
On her way home from work she meets a man who is in huge need of her help. Recently demobbed, Joss Bentley has no job or home and, with his wife dead, there’s a new baby to care for – and, what’s more, it’s not his. As he searches grimly for its real father, he runs up against people who will use any means necessary to conceal dark secrets, and Vi finds herself faced with conflicting loyalties. Whichever way she moves, it seems she’ll hurt someone – or they’ll hurt her . . .

Praise for Anna Jacobs: 'Catherine Cookson fans will cheer!'
Anna Jacobs' books are deservedly popular. She is one of the best writers of Lancashire sagas around.
Once again you have given us a story that has me hooked from the first page to the last. The characters are so alive that I am loath to call them characters, they are people - so real that you almost feel for them
