A compelling tale of secrets, betrayal and shame set during a time when being a single mother was the ultimate sin. Tre Melin, Wales, 1960.

Sally Travis is no stranger to heartbreak. Her parents died when she was fourteen and since then she’s been left to fend for herself. Alone in the world and in need of money, Sally builds a steady career in fashion and lands on both feet. Until she meets Rhys Martin . . .

Sally falls madly in love with Rhys — and straight into danger. A spate of burglaries in the area lands Rhys in trouble with the police, forcing him to run away and leave a pregnant Sally behind. No one can know Rhys’s whereabouts, so Sally has no choice but to face single motherhood — and the town’s contempt — alone. But it’s been two years since Rhys ran away . . . Sally is starting to wonder if he’s ever coming home. If he does, will Sally still be waiting? Or will it be too late?
