It is 1919 but the end of the war has not brought peace for Emeline Vane. Lost in grief, she is suddenly alone at the heart of a depleted family. She can no longer cope. Just as everything seems to be slipping beyond her control, in a moment of desperation, she boards a train and runs away. 
 
Fifty years later, a young solicitor on his first case finds Emeline's diary. Bill Perch is eager to prove himself but what he learns from the tattered pages of the neat script goes against everything he has been told. He begins to trace a story of love and betrayal that will send him on a journey to discover the truth. 
 
What really happened to Emeline all those years ago?
