Vanessa Miles has come to England from the United States to be closer to her young RAF pilot brother, Kylie; her boyfriend, Andy Warnstead; and her father, Robert Miles, who abandoned Vanessa and Kylie when they were infants. She believes her father is somewhere in England but soon discovers that he is in nearby Scotland. Facing extreme emotions from anger at their abandonment to longing to know the father she has dreamed about for years, she must decide whether she will take the first step and travel to Scotland to visit him as he lays on his sick bed. She must also decide whether she will try to persuade her brother to join her in her quest. This mission will not be easily accomplished because her brother is pretty set in his anger and bitterness towards his father and wants no opportunity to visit him until tragedy strikes. Vanessa also discovers feelings aroused within her for the handsome young gardener on the family estate. What will she decide about her forthcoming engagement to her young RAF boyfriend, Andy, versus her intense feelings for this young stranger. Meanwhile, she experiences a mystery and murder on the small island and her own life is threatened. Will she escape the murderous intent of someone on the island or give her life before she even begins to know her father? What of the war beginning to break upon English soil? Someone she loves will lose their life. Who will it be? Read this exciting book to find out the answers to these questions and may more that will be brought to your mind as you read this intense novel!
