Molly Dawson, now a respectable married woman, lives with her husband, head gardener Charlie, on the Woodchurch Manor estate, where they have brought up three delightful daughters. Her life appears idyllic . . . but she has suffered the torment of a secret since she was eighteen years old.

When George Smith – a young stranger fresh out of the Navy – appears at the estate’s annual garden party, Molly’s life is set to change again . . .

Can Molly ever overcome the consequences of a decision she made long ago to find true joy and fulfilment at last?
