What to expect

Previously published in ebook as The Daughter's Choice

A warm-hearted and nostalgic family saga from the author of The Nursemaid's Secret and Bicycles and Blackberries, perfect for readers of Katie Flynn.

1934

Following the death of her mother, twelve-year-old Tess Rainbow takes on the responsibility of caring for her family. When a plane crash-lands near their home on Romney Marsh, she meets the charming Moray Tann, a young pilot from Scotland, who turns out to be the son of one of her father's rivals. Once nursed back to health, Moray returns to his duties - but not without leaving a mark on Tess's heart.

With the onset of World War II, the Rainbow family move to Scotland. Here Tess is reunited with Moray. Sworn off him, she must choose between her home and her first true love . . .
