Raising her daughters alone, widowed Flora Wilcox often feels out of her depth. There’s no problem with mousy Hilary, but Isobel is a wayward beauty who can never forgive her plainer sister for stealing her boyfriend, and will be pregnant before she marries. Worse, the father of Isobel’s baby isn’t her new husband – and when the truth comes out, her marriage is likely to hit the rocks. Hilary’s life seems to be moving along more calmly, until her husband is badly injured in an accident. And as she takes charge of his business Hilary also faces the discovery that her adored children are struggling at school. There’s hope if the sisters can pull together at last – but can they ever put the past behind them?
