Louise Widdows has never been happy in her marriage. From a generation where the woman's role was one of support and supplication she provided both in exchange for a secure roof over her head. But her facade of gentility disguises two secrets: a child born in adultery and given away at birth and a small inheritance she has always kept hidden. But then events align in her favour: her husband abruptly leaves her and the father of her illegitimate son dies allowing her the possibility of finding him after all these years.
Abandoning the shabby matrimonial home she moves into a cottage and begins to blossom in her independence. But things are not destined to run smoothly. Two bodies are discovered near her old home and she discovers that her husband has absconded with a charity's funds as well as the contents of their bank account. Suddenly her new life seems very precarious indeed putting in doubt that she will ever locate her unknown son.
