APS Publications, 2025

Violet and her widowed mother, Mabel, lived a life of drudgery on their rural farm. Mabel never got over the loss of her son in the Great War. He was the only man she ever truly loved. Any hopes she had for a better future, were thwarted the day her mother came into school brandishing a horse whip. Her beauty attracted unwelcomed attention, but her mother had not unprepared her for the ways of men. She met her nemesis at the tender age of fourteen, only to have to face him again, years later. Would he still carry a grudge against her for what she and her mother did? When Violet had children of her own she gave them the love that her own mother denied her. When she became a single mother during World War 11, her high principles were put to the test. When the Americans arrived, bringing fresh hope, she grabbed at the chance of happiness. However, when someone she trusted committed the most heinous of crimes, she was left doubting her skills as a mother. Violet's daughter, Annie, was determined not to live a life of poverty like her mother and grandmother. She was adamant that nothing would stand in her way. Later she found herself caught up in a scandal involving her employer, would she do the right thing or would she continue to turn a blind eye? Her high flying job came at a cost, had she left it too late to find love? This saga follows the lives of three generations of the Smith/Higgins family and their fight against poverty through two world wars and beyond. All three women think they are different to one another, but is that really the case? 'A powerful story with a cast of brilliant characters.' Joy Wood - Award winning author of 'Whatever It Takes'
