Helen's mother has asked them to wait. Helen was only nineteen and Tony was twenty-one, but they wanted to spend a few days together as man and wife before Tony returned to his regiment. What happened next turned Helen's joy to heartbreak, and she has to face many years of sorrow and betrayal, alone. Her life has many twists and turns, ups and downs, before she makes some real friends and finally gets a glimpse of a happy future, at last. This is Madge Bown's fourth book published by Lulu. She is a member of the 'Ordsall Writers' group in Salford and thanks them for their continuing support.
