"Hope Woodrow is just four years old when she and her baby sister are orphaned. They are raised by their aunt in the poverty of Sunderland's East End, and when Hope is seventeen she falls in love with Daniel Fallow. Daniel's father Abe is wealthy and determined his son will marry well, so the couple marry in secret, much to Abe's fury. With the outbreak of World War II Daniel joins up and their children are evacuated, but this is nothing to what Abe will bring down on his family. Will Hope and her family ever be together again?"--BOOK JACKET.
