THIS is a love-enchanted tale of a young girl looking after her small family after the dreadful death of her parents during the Second World War.

Mary Trimble, despite being the tender age of just 20, looks after her three younger siblings and her elderly granddad. She is expected to provide for them.

The heroine discovers the eligible Lennie Backer who could help her put her life on track.

Backer finds Mary a better paid job. However, her dream of escaping London life and embarking on an adventure to a peaceful place far, far away in Devon seems to become just as heart-rending as her life in the capital.

Lennie's secretiveness about his past seems quite odd, but Mary is willing to put up with it as it's the first time she has felt wanted and needed since the tragic death of her parents.

Will her dream of living in the drama-free, Devon countryside come true?

This action-packed tale grips to the end.
