The final volume in the "King's" series completes the story of Evie Grainger who, a year after her husband Davie's death is lonely, struggling for her family's survival in the Depression and ready to be swept off her feet by John Simpson. But John is not the man he appears to be.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

“A poignant tale of love lost and found by an author who has won a huge audience for her warm, absorbing tales of ordinary folk”
'Annabel'
'It is winter 1930. Evie Grant is mourning the death of her beloved husband, Davie, and trying to keep the family together in a Glasgow gripped by poverty and unemployment...'

Her sadness lifts dramatically when John Simpson comes into her life. A charming vibrant man almost twice her age, Evie feels powerless to resist his advances and is relieved at the financial security he seems to offer. She marries him despite her family’s opposition, blind to the consequences they fear.

A shattering event will give Evie the resources to take hold of her own life again. For the moment she must live for her family but the time comes when she will choose her own destiny and reach out for happiness...
