Description: Evelyn Gifford is still haunted by the death of her brother James in the trenches, so when a woman claiming to have been James's lover appears, her world is overturned - especially when the woman, Meredith, brings a child who is allegedly James's son. Evelyn has trained as one of the country's first female solicitors, and as Meredith manipulates her way into the family's affections, Evelyn finds the dashing and charismatic barrister, Nicholas Thorne, offering his help with two of her cases. Suddenly vulnerable to love and change, Evelyn embarks on a journey which challenges her faith in justice, and the truth about her brother's final days.
