Description

Ever since Dot Baker lost her husband in the war she s tried to keep his memory alive. But when John Kershaw turns up on her doorstep, she can t blame her kids, Katy and Colin, for wanting another man about the house. John s the boss of a local factory, and a kind and caring man who can t seem to do enough for the Bakers and their friends and neighbours. He defends Mary Campbell when she is attacked by her violent husband; he encourages Colin and Katy in all that they do; and he puts a smile on Dot s face that s been missing since her husband s death. Everyone in the street can see they re meant to be together, but the one person who s blind to John s charm is Dot herself. What s it going to take to make her realise where her happiness lies...
