Synopsis

A compelling story of changing fortunes in love and war.

She couldn’t forget the boy across the street...

Rose Bradshaw was brought up a stone’s throw from Blackpool’s bustling promenade. She had her mother’s looks and her father’s passion – an intimidating combination, and she worked on the same racetrack as her father, one of the town’s best-known bookies.

When the rapacious, wealthy and childless Widow Hettie Miller took her in hand, a new glamorous Rose moved up the social scale. But Rose was unaware that Hettie had her own devious reasons for wanting to manipulate her life and marries Stuart Fallow.

With World War II, lives get disrupted. But when Rose finds that Lester is back on home leave, suddenly their world erupts and the stakes become one of life and death, with Rose risking everything, even her life, for the man she has always loved.
