In 1957, Ellie and Tom Hall are happily married, with a home of their own in Shepherd’s Bush and a beautiful baby daughter. Ellie feels truly blessed and has faith in their future – a future which is cruelly snatched away when a terrible car accident leaves Tom brain-damaged and institutionalised. Months later, Ellie is slowly learning to live without him and focuses on her thriving knitwear business.

Convicted for a murder he has always denied committing, when Ray Brent is released from prison he is ostracised by the community as he tries to rebuild his life. But he finds a loyal supporter in Ellie when she is witness to a vicious attack on him. Something about him makes her believe in his innocence and the two soon become friends. But it’s only a matter of time before friendship becomes an impossible love…
