Carrie McDarmount's just fifteen when her big sister marries into the Sutton family. It's a day to celebrate, and by evening Carrie's tipsy on her first taste of homemade sloe gin - but then stolen moments with the boy of her dreams turn sour and change her life for ever.
David Sutton hast always loved Carrie, even though she's only ever seen him as a friend. When she confides her secret, David doesn't hesitate to offer the solution any woman in Carrie's position prays for, on one condition: the truth must never be revealed.
Against a backgrop of the Depression and tough years for the mining community in the north-eas, and through the devastation of world War II, the Suttons, and McCarmounts find their worlds inextricably linked. Yet despite the troubled times and the burden of her secret, Carrie's a survivior, her heart set on finding true love... surely the most precious thing.
