Publisher's Synopsis
The Great War had ended and Scotland Road was left to count the cost. Some of the young men had never come back; those that had would never be quite the same again. Those who had stayed behind wondered what they had missed.
Dee Chatterton, back from the horrors of a field hospital, had happily settled down with Tommy Kerrigan, while Tommy's sister Abbie married her childhood sweetheart Mike Burgess. For the the familiar surroundings of Liverpool, even with its attendant hardships, was all they wanted. But Hannah Harvey had quite different horizons in view - her wartime nursing had brought her into contact with no less a person than Richard, seventh Earl of Ashenden. Moving to the splendours of Ashenden as Richard's personal nurse was to bring her unimagined happiness, but also the dangers of being separated forever from her close family and friends.
