Description
It's 1942 and Maryann Bartholomew has built a life of happiness and safety with her husband Joel and their children, working the canals on his narrowboat, the Esther Jane. But the back-breaking work and constant childbearing take their toll, and a tragic loss and further pregnancy lead her to a desperate act that nearly costs her her life.
The walls of her security are broken down when Joel suffers an accident, and to keep the boats working, Maryann is forced to allow two wartime volunteers into the privacy of their life. As she struggles to cope, she begins to receive mysterious calls at a Birmingham wharf, threatening to overwhelm her dark memories and put her life at risk.
This gripping saga explores the challenges faced by women during wartime, and the devastating consequences of desperation and fear.
