A mother's choice

For ten years, Delia has had to fend for herself and her son Jack, and as a young unmarried mother, life has never been easy.

Every new coat and pair of shoes was bought with what little money she could scrape together as a singer on the stage.

But when the theatre work dries up, Delia faces a dilemma: continue the search for employment with no knowing whether she'll find the stability and security her son needs, or return to the place that should be home . . . where only spite and hatred await them. Desperate now, a chance encounter suddenly presents a lifeline.

But Delia is faced with an impossible, heart-wrenching choice.

Can she bear to leave Jack behind, hoping another family will care for him?

Will they ever be reunited? What else can a mother do to give her son the life he deserves?Val Wood's wonderful historical sagas are perfect for readers of Dilly Court, Maggie Hope and Rosie Goodwin.
