An emotional family saga that will tug at the heartstrings from Sunday Times bestseller Kitty Neale.

Daisy Bacon has an ordinary, happy life living with her family in South London. Until tragedy strikes and her mother is killed in a devastating accident. Blaming herself, Daisy retreats into a world of silence, unable to utter a word.

When her father remarries, the family home becomes unbearable at the mercy of cruel stepmother Vera. Luckily, Daisy can always count on her cousin Lizzie to bring sunshine to her life. But when shocking truths about Vera come to light, could it bring the possibility of a fresh start for Daisy after all?

Perfect for fans of Nadine Dorries and Katie Flynn, this is a rags to riches story from the Sunday Times bestselling author of A Mother's Sacrifice and A Family Scandal.

About this title

About the Author:

Kitty Neale (real name Brenda Warren) was brought up in Battersea. She started writing after working as a bereavement counsellor which she took up after the death of her son.

From Booklist:

Neale's saga continues from where it left off in Another Time, Another Place (2006). It's 1960s in the Battersea area of London. Sally Jones' husband, Arthur, has just been released from the hospital after having part of his leg amputated. He's insistent about not being mollycoddled, and Sally is worried about hurting him. It seems a simple matter to explain their thoughts and feelings to each other, but as with all human relations, it's not so easy in practice. Because of their inability to communicate, Sally thinks Arthur needs more time and Arthur thinks she's repulsed by his injury. Enter their new upstairs neighbor who has no qualms cozying up to Arthur to further her own ends. Their marriage on the rocks, Sally moves back to Candle Lane with her mother and grandmother, but things are about to change in ways no one expects. Once again Neale comes through with an engrossing story involving characters who seem so real readers will be anxious for more. Maria Hatton
