Following the fortunes of some of the much-loved characters from her bestseller The Journey, Josephine Cox's powerful new novel spans continents, decades and generations of one family
As Barney Davidson watched the liner sail away with his beloved family on board, bound for America, he stood a devastated and broken man. His dream was over, but theirs was just beginning.
They must never know what he had suffered to give them this opportunity. But he had no regrets, except for the anguish he had caused them in their innocence.
Now many years later Barney is gone. Lucy Baker, now old and in ill health herself, knows the truth about what happened. She carries a terrible burden. She promised Barney she would never tell his secret. But is it a promise she can keep?
In this riveting work of fiction, Josephine Cox, the Sunday Times bestselling author, weaves a tale that is as heartbreaking as it is uplifting. The secrets and sacrifices of Barney Davidson, the protagonist, are a testament to the unyielding power of familial love.
For fans of Rosie Goodwin (The Winter Promise), Anna Jacobs (A Very Special Christmas), Katie Flynn (White Christmas), Catherine Cookson (Daughter of Scandal), and Danielle Steel (Upside Down).
