Julianne Westcott was living the kind of life that other
Protestant girls in prewar Liverpool could only dream about:
old money, silk ball gowns, and prominent young men lining
up to escort her. But when she learns of a blind-and-deaf
brother, institutionalized since birth, the illusion of her
perfect life and family shatters around her.
While visiting her brother in secret, Julianne meets and
befriends Kyle McCarthy, an Irish Catholic groundskeeper
studying to become a priest. Caught between her family’s
expectations, Kyle’s devotion to the Church, and the intense
new feelings that the forbidden courtship has awakened in
her, Julianne must make a choice: uphold the life she’s
always known or follow the difficult path toward love.
But as war ripples through the world and the Blitz decimates
England, a tragic accident forces Julianne to leave
everything behind and forge a new life built on lies she’s
told to protect the ones she loves. Now, after twenty years
of hiding from her past, the truth finds her—will she be
brave enough to face it?
