1937. East Yorkshire.
The daughter of a wealthy trawler owner, Jessica Kingdom is born into a life of privilege. Then her doting father dies — and suddenly Jessica has nothing.
Thrown out of the family home by her father’s widow, Jessica must rebuild a life of her own. Innocent to the ways of men, she falls for the charms of handsome young trawlerman Rick Gallager.
Jessica’s whirlwind romance leads to a hasty marriage. But she soon realizes she’s made a terrible mistake.
Left alone for long weeks with her disapproving mother-in-law while her new husband is away at sea, Jessica struggles to be accepted by the close-knit fishing folk. She must also suppress her growing feelings for her husband’s best friend, who is everything that Rick is not.
Then war breaks out — and Jessica’s life will change in ways she never expected. She must summon all her courage and resourcefulness to weather the coming storm. Will she ever find true happiness with the man she really loves?
Fans of Nadine Dorries, Rosie Goodwin, Dilly Court, Anna Jacobs, Rosie Clarke, Tania Crosse, Dominic Luke, Lizzie Lane and Catherine Cookson will devour this emotional wartime saga.
