As Gail Richmond steps down from the train she knows the fight of her life is at hand
It's the summer of 1939 and the world is hurtling towards war. During her travels in Europe, Gail witnessed the suffering that modern conflict brings. Kind-hearted and caring, she is set on training as a nurse. But her father, a wealthy and influential lawyer, has other ideas. Firmly entrenched in old world thinking, he intends to marry her into affluence and leisure.
These two collide within hours of her return. But she has already made daring plans to take control of her life, and the route to freedom will require a cool head and every scrap of courage she possesses.
As he marshals his resources to force her into submission, he watches every move she makes and acts swiftly when crossed.
Who will come out on top? The underage daughter with a strong vocation and a forbidden love, or the overbearing father with the law on his side. Succeed and she will be free to live a fulfilling and active life with the man she loves. Fail and she will be forced into a loveless marriage and a life of idleness.
A gripping tale of courage, love, and the will to be free.
