Description

1945: Netta is determined to show she is capable of building a life for herself so she can return to Galloway and claim back her child. A historical novel of love, loss and triumph...


A warm, compelling historical story of love, loss and triumph.

Yorkshire, 1945: Netta Nichol lives in the shadow of a terrible disgrace. After bearing a son out of wedlock, Netta was banished from her beloved Galloway to a Yorkshire mill town. She must stand aside as her son is raised by family back home.

Bereft and broken-hearted, Netta finds solace in the quiet pleasure of sewing. Despite the shortages of wartime, she becomes known for her beautiful wedding dresses, made with ingenuity and skill.

With the help of her dressmaking, Netta begins to win back her self-respect. But will it be enough to claim back her child?
