Description
Ruby Caselton's life is a balancing act. At 25, she's already shouldering the weight of her family's struggles. With her second child on the way and penniless, Ruby moves her family into a new home in the hopes of starting anew. Her husband Eddie has promised this will be their fresh start, but Ruby fears he may not keep his word. As life at number thirteen Alexandra Road becomes increasingly chaotic, Ruby must hold everything together. With her young son George by her side and her mother's constant criticism, every day is a challenge. But Ruby holds on to the hope that Eddie will change for the better. What she doesn't know is that Eddie has a secret, one so dark it keeps him silent. When war breaks out in 1914, the community is shattered, and Ruby's world is turned upside down. With her friend Stella by her side, Ruby faces the heartbreaks and losses that follow. Will their men ever return to them?
