' A truly wonderful novel' Jill Mansell ' A beautiful and poignant love story' Jenny Quintana ' An engrossing story of loss, betrayal and love' Carolyn Kirby ' A very special novel' Jenny Ashcroft ' A romantic wartime drama' Samantha King From the author of The Lost Ones, shortlisted for the Goldsboro Books Glass Bell Award and HWA Debut Crown Award. . . Jack Ellison' s war is over, but the battle for his family has just begun. When Jack left for the war, he made a parting pledge to his pregnant bride, Gwen, that he would never return. It was, after all, best for everyone that he didn' t. Now, as celebrations erupt for Victory in Europe, Gwen is terrified that Jack will renege on his promise, threatening the life she has built for herself and their son on the family farm. But war has changed Jack, and he is coming home, determined to claim a place in Gwen' s life - and her heart. As events of the past come back to haunt them, Jack and Gwen find themselves facing their greatest battle - and it is a fight neither of them can afford to lose. In this sweeping historical story with huge heart, Anita Frank weaves a glorious tale of love and loss, secrets and promises.
