A captivating saga that brings Liverpool of the 1960s vividly to life, from much-loved author Lyn Andrews


She longs for more from life, but can she escape her past?

Angela O’Rourke was only six years old when her parents sent her to live with her aunt and uncle. They have never once written or visited, and Angela can’t help but feel forgotten and unwanted.

As Angela grows into an ambitious young woman, she feels stifled by small-town life. When her uncle’s behaviour towards her turns from unsettling to unbearable, Angela seizes an opportunity to leave Ireland – and vows never to look back.

Arriving in Liverpool in 1962, Angela is swept up in the noise and colour of the city. Soon she finds her calling in fashion design. But an affair of the heart will throw Angela’s new life into disarray. And although Angela has no desire to return, there are secrets waiting for her back in Ireland . . .
