内容简介：
Hannah Kirk and Alice Moran have been friends since childhood. Growing up in the back streets of Chester in the 1900s, they are used to supporting each other when family life gets tough. After her mother dies in childbirth, Alice is the only witness to a violent crime - the perpetrator is Malcolm Moran, Alice's father; the victim is Susannah Kirk, Hannah's mother. Alice is forced to go on the run, while Hannah is struggling with the consequences of her mother's 'accident'. Will the guilt and pain that now separates them be too much to overcome...?
