A TOUCHING STORY OF FINDING LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS....
World War Two: Londoners Miranda and Ted are sent to the country with another young evacuee, Roberta (Bobbie), to live with two unmarried sisters in their idyllic rectory. The time they spend with Aunt Sophie and Aunt Prudence turns their lives into something very near to Heaven: the archetypal idyllic countryside childhood.
But when the two sisters learn they cannot adopt all three of them, it is Bobbie who is sent away to live with the Dingwalls in very different circumstances. And when the aunts die, Miranda, Tom and Bobbie are eventually parted, seemingly forever.
The three find each other after the war, and Miranda, now a beautiful young model, falls in love with grown-up Ted Mowbray, but he can only think of her as a sister. In turn, he loves Bobbie, yet she has already met her beloved Julian, getting to know him during a summer by the sea in Sussex.
How many hearts are destined to be broken and can they find their way to a happy and fulfilled future?
Will satisfy all Bingham's fans.
