But when a glass of champagne is offered to her in a Liverpool hotel, the consequences turn out to be shattering. When Bertie discovers his wife's deceit, he is ruthless in his revenge. He sells their house and disappears with her children, leaving Jessica devastated. She manages to exist, even making a sort of life for herself on her own, despite her broken heart. Then she is asked to Paris to help an old friend and her small daughters return to Liverpool before the onset of the war. Due to circumstances over which she has no control, Jessica finds herself stranded in Paris under German occupation. With new friends and a small family to care for, she must find the courage that she never knew she possessed.
