Produktbeschreibung
The year was 1939 and soldiers were about to go to war. Constance Cummings, a sixteen-year-old beautiful but naïve young girl, was taken in by a conniving and duplicitous junior army officer who was already married with a family using a false identity. With the false promise of later marriage and following a wager with his colleagues he lured the girl into a seedy room where he raped her. She found herself to be pregnant and in 1940 she had a baby with an unknown father. Even though she had been duped and raped this was considered to be a disgrace and the child, a boy, was taken from her without her even being aware of his sex. Meanwhile, some miles away the offender's real wife gave birth to a son. This is a story of their lives from that point on. Will Constance ever meet up with her son? Will the offender's real wife ever realise what a dreadful man she had married? Will the two half-brothers ever meet and become friends?
Autorenporträt
David Tetlow was born in Rossendale, Lancashire, during the Second World War. Following his school years, he worked in mechanical engineering and later joined the Lancashire Constabulary. He is aware of ancestors who left Ireland around the mid-nineteenth century probably due to the famine, disease and poverty of those years to work in the construction industry and the then thriving textile mills in Lancashire.
