There is nothing stronger than a mother’s love. As the story evolves, it is apparent that Violet was doing everything she could to protect her daughter and give her a better life. An accident changes the course of everything, and yet 40 years later Tara travels to Spain and finds Violet. Such a great, story that left me in tears. It wasn’t until the end, that all the characters came full circle. Poor Leo! He saved Violet and she saved him. Will definitely recommend to friends!

Won a Kindle copy from Goodreads and really enjoyed it. Overall well written journey for Tara to discover the roots to the letter, and easy to relate to her as she goes along. The ending was good, but a tad rushed to wrap it all up.

I received a copy of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This story is told over two time periods. In the late 1970’s Tara is living with her single mother Violet Dobbs who is doing her best to make ends meet by singing in nightclubs. Her luck changes when she gets offered a higher class club which means more money. Unfortunately that same night she gets evicted from their flat. They end up living above an iron mongers with elderly widow Alf. One night Violet meets Larry Valentine and everything changes.
In present day Tara receives a telephone call from a solicitor asking her to come in. The result of this phone call marks a big change in Tara’s life which solves a mystery that has haunted Tara for years.
I really enjoyed this book and was really invested in the story. This is the third book written by this author that I have read. She has become an auto buy author for me.
