From the Back Cover
When one dark night in 1939, young Theresa Nolan was brutally raped by three young men, it was the beginning of a series of tragic and dramatic events. For the young men were not criminals or vagrants, but the sons of wealthy and privileged businessmen. Pregnant, thrown out of her home by her bigoted father, Theresa vowed a lifetime of vegeance on the men who had wrecked her future. Physically frail but filled with a burning anger that fuelled her weak body, she determined that nothing and no-one was going to deflect her from her path of retribution, not even the gentle man who cared for her during her sickness and whom she eventually came to love.
But there were others caught in the web of violence and deceit: Barnard Walsh and his brother Danny, and Eva the midwife who had befriended Theresa and saw her through her pregnancy. Above all there were two children bonded from birth, whose lives were to play their part in the drama of Theresa Nolan.
With all the rich characters and traditions of Liverpool and the north-west, Ruth Hamilton has created another magnificent story of passion and conflict.
