Book description
Evelyn Wilkinson married Charles Lister-Sinclair just hours before he
left for war, unaware that she would never see him again and that she
was already carrying his child. When Amelia is born, Charles's parents
refuse to accept that she is their grandchild, so, penniless and afraid,
Evelyn moves to the backstreets of Liverpool where she dreams of
escaping. Meanwhile, as little Milly grows up she discovers that a world
of happiness lies on her doorstep. Joan Jonker was born and bred in
Liverpool. She led a rich and varied life and was devoted to her family.
Before writing novels, she worked tirelessly for the charity-run
organisation Victims of Violence which she founded in 1976. Sadly, Joan
died in 2006, but she is remembered fondly by her family and friends and
her multitude of fans.
