The powerful new novel from this popular author

This emotional and uplifting saga full of twists and turns by the Sunday Times bestselling author Ruth Hamilton is perfect for fans of Catherine Cookson, Dilly Court and Josephine Cox.

""I believe that Ruth Hamilton is very much the successor to Catherine Cookson. Her books are plot driven, they just rip along; laughs, weeps, love, they've got the lot, and they're quality writing as well"" -- SARAH BROADHURST, RADIO FOUR

""Another first class read"" --

ONE WOMAN'S FIGHT FOR FREEDOM AND LOVE...

Born into the First World War, Dorothy has a bleak childhood under the iron fist of an implacable mother and the silent compliance of a browbeaten father.

Her escape is achieved just before the disastrous advent of Hitler, and there is further tragedy to come.

Follow her through childhood and adolescence, then on into her twenties. Can she win her own battle for freedom, for love and for her own place in the world?
