Summary

London, 1963. Angelica harbours a dark secret from the war. Having made a new life for herself in East London's Stepney, she has created a family of her own. Sometimes the ghosts of France feel far away. Finally, she's ready to move on. But secrets catch up with you, whether you like it or not. France, 1943. The Nazis arrive at the gate of Sister Angelica's convent. Inside, the nuns are harbouring children - if discovered, it would mean certain death. All the children need is love, food and safety. Angelica made a promise to protect them, but when there's a knock on a door, protection is a promise she's struggling to keep.
