London, 1911. Joy Squirrel's dream has finally come true: she is pregnant with the child she's always longed for. But there's a problem. The baby isn't her husband Samuel's. It's the result of one terrible mistake with Eddie Mallory, the cruel neighbour. Through the decades Joy raises her child, navigating war, widowhood, and poverty. But Eddie's cunning wife, Val, has caught wind of the affair, and she's willing to do whatever it takes to cause Joy's downfall. Will Joy's secret stay hidden? And after devastating loss, will she find love and happiness again?
