An emotional historical read from BESTSELLER May Ellis, based on real life events
Living in South London, Lily has always longed for a better life for her family. And when she secures a job at a City law firm, her dreams look like they may finally come true.
But Lily's hopes are shattered when her teenage daughter Beverley falls pregnant, with the father nowhere to be seen. Lily loves the child, but worries about Beverley and her illegitimate baby's future. The additional responsibilities of another mouth to feed begin to take their toll, and worst of all is the rift growing between Lily and her husband Jack who, despite his devotion to his family, doesn't seem to understand Lily's feelings or everything she's been working for.
Then the opportunity for change comes in an unexpected form, and Lily must choose whether to grasp her chance of happiness with both hands, even if it could cost her dearly.
Should she risk everything for the chance at a better life?
A gripping and moving new historical novel from the author of the bestselling Clarks Factory Girls series. Perfect for fans of Kitty Neale and Rosie Clarke.
