When Jennifer's grandmother, Isobel, retreats in on herself, listening to the same old song over and over again, little does Jennifer realise that she is about to discover the remarkable life she never knew her gran had lived.
Isobel married Harry and had his child. However, shortly into the marriage she discovered that Peter, her true love who she believed had died fighting in the second world war, hadn't been killed at all but merely captured. His miraculous return after the war changed Isobel's life forever, filling it with incredible highs and devastating lows.
As Isobel's story unfolds in her journal, for the first time in her life Jennifer really sees the woman that her sweet grey haired grandmother used to be; the renowned beauty who suffered at the hands of her brutal husband, who had wild affairs and fought to get the law changed to better protect women. Jennifer also discovers the secret that lies at the heart of that haunting song, making her hope that she can give her grandmother the happy ending she deserves.
This is a family saga with a difference, showing how there is so much more to a person than is visible on the surface. After all, do we really see anyone?
This book contains scenes of explicit sex and domestic violence.
Genre: Sagas
