years ago, Margot's life was turned upside down when her fiance, Harry, went missing in action on the Western Front. Worse, she was left with a devastating secret which threatened to ruin her life and destroy the reputation of her family. As a respectable vicar's daughter, Margot has had to guard that secret with great care ever since, no matter how much pain it causes her. Now

it's Christmas 1919, and Margot's family is gathering back home in the

vicarage for the first time since the end of the Great War. And

miraculously Harry has returned, hoping to see Margot and rekindle their

romance. Can Margot ever reveal the shocking truth to the only man she

has ever loved?
