Product Description

Product Description

It's an ill wind...Born into WW1, Dorothy has a bleak childhood under the iron fist of an implacable mother and the silent compliance of a browbeaten father. Her escape is achieved just before the disastrous advent of Hitler, and there is further tragedy to come. Follow her through childhood and adolescence, then on into her twenties when, finally made whole, she wins her own battle for freedom, for love and for her own place in the world.

From the Inside Flap

‘It's an ill wind . . .’

Dorothy has grown up in the years following the First World War, and during her bleak childhood she has always known that her family is different. Her implacable mother Molly seems incapable of loving her, and the cruelty and deprivation she endures are watched silently by her browbeaten father. Only her childhood friend, Steve, gives her any affection and as soon as she is old enough, on the eve of the Second World War, she escapes from home and marries him.

But during that war she loses Steve and the baby they both longed for. Rather than return to Molly, she escapes for the second time – to work at Burbank Hall, where the war wounded are being treated. Here she meets Andrew, a young doctor who has also known pain and deprivation, and as she blossoms once again, she discovers the key to the secrets from her past.
