Description: In this powerful novel of betrayal and revenge, three young women struggle for survival in the emotional heat of war-torn Britain. Cathy Parker and her troublesome sister Amy, clash with their mother, Victoria, a flighty beauty with an illicit passion for German bicycle-seller, Kurt Becker. Kurt's pretty daughter, Heidi, although an alien in a hostile country, is drawn to gentle Cathy. The two young women have sworn everlasting loyalty. But the girls have reckoned without the cruel prejudices of war, or the influence of men who stop at nothing to get what they want. Like lecherous Will Carruthers, entrusted with their care. Like sex-mad G.I. Gus, who believes English girls are easy pickings. And especially glamorous James, country squire and man-about-town, who drives a final wedge between the women. A story of families torn apart, and three women for whom life will never be the same.
