About this listen

The conclusion of Evelyn Hood's sweeping Scottish family saga featuring the Lennox Family — perfect for fans of Catherine Cookson, Rosie Goodwin and Donna Douglas.

Will her life as a wife and mother provide as much satisfaction as her working life?

Paisley, Scotland, 1920

Rose MacDowall is hopeful that her husband Alex can overcome his post-war night terrors and return to full health so she can concentrate on her thriving dress-designing business. But Alex's scheming sister Fiona can't help but interfere, much to Rose's frustration.

When the McCarts, an Irish family arrive in Paisley they are offered a warm welcome, employment and support, but dark secrets threaten to destroy the new lives they're trying to build.

As Alex's father's health fails, Fiona steps in to help run the family furniture emporium but Rose is unsettled by Fiona's ambitions and wary of her motives. The conflict between the sisters-in-law places a strain on Rose's marriage and leads to her making a rash decision she may come to regret.
