When Laura Page returns to a remote village in Welwick, it is try to and discover the mystery of her mother Susannah's early life. Now a prosperous business woman in Hull, Susannah never speaks of her childhood, when she was brought up with the terrible stigma of illegitimacy—of being nobody's child. As the years passed and Laura began to be curious about her mother's past, so too did she become aware of the mystery about her own father.
