A gripping new emotional saga from the author of A Sister's Dream.

1950: Seventeen-year-old Josephine Cliffe and her younger sister, Eliza, have the perfect lives, wanting for nothing in the huge house they live in with their parents in Sydney, Australia.

But when her father's mining company falls apart, the family are left with nothing. They have no choice but to return to Durham, England, to live with their harsh, mean-spirited grandmother.

Life in England isn't what Jo expects, and as bad luck continues to follow the Cliffe family, she'll need to rely on the local community if her family are to survive. But will Jo be able to find a new beginning in Durham? Or will she find a way to return to Australia for good?
