1971. With the troubles in Belfast at their height, a happy
domestic life is something that Tess Maguire yearns for. Yet the
political and social unrest are sending ripples of uncertainty
through every aspect of her life. Whilst her partnership with her
friend Theresa Cunningham in a dressmaking firm is successful, it's
beginning to affect her romantic interests. Theresa's boyfriend Bob
always seems to be near Tess. Near enough, one night, to declare
his true feelings for her... Tess, in confusion, has to confront
her own mixed up emotions concerning Bob. And to address her
feelings for her own ever-faithful boyfriend Tony. Especially when
he asks her to marry him ... Tess's widowed mother Alice marries
Dan, her long-standing partner who can now spend the rest of his
years with Alice and his beloved grandson Jackie. Jackie is almost
an orphan: his father Jack died in a motorcycle accident. His
mother Colette may as well be dead - she decamped to Canada shortly
after his birth. But then Colette suddenly shows up to reclaim her
son and her arrival in Belfast opens old wounds, triggers a bitter
custody battle - and unearths secrets that will change everyone's
lives for ever.
