Can she choose between family and love? A heartbreaking tale of sacrifice and second chances from the author of the Holidays at Home series.

Seven years ago, Charlotte Russell’s father walked out on her family. Ever since, the task of caring for her bitter mother and sick uncle have fallen heavily on Charlotte’s shoulders.

If only she had agreed to marry Joe Llewellyn the first time he asked. Unable to leave her family to fend for themselves, Charlotte is constantly delaying her own happiness, and fears that Joe may soon move on. Then, as 1950 begins, Charlotte’s father reappears, bringing with him his brood of children from his mistress.

Torn between loyalty to her family, desire to rebuild the family business, and her need for independence and love, Charlotte fears she will never have a life of her own. Have she and Joe missed their moment?
