The dream returned to haunt her. She had dreamed it again today - today and yesterday. Twice this week, three times last week, seven years of the same recurrence. It was exactly the same every time. She was always running and worrying. She could see the hospital as clear as it had been that day. And she was always too late, too late to discover what Grace had wanted to tell her.

2003 - Outwardly Annie Greaves has the perfect life: privileged background, successful husband, beautiful Derbyshire country home. Yet she is deeply dissatisfied. She cannot come to terms with her mother's death and the secret she never got to know - or with the estrangement from her own daughter. When she unexpectedly inherits her mother's childhood home at the death of a stranger, Grace's diaries unravel a mystery that holds the key to Annie's past and perhaps her future.

1936 - At fourteen Grace is lonely and frustrated. She despises snobbery and loves to write but is stifled by rich, domineering parents and Manchester society. When Dorothy and Reginald Gordon of Derbyshire buy the house next door, Grace finds friendship with their daughter Daisy and her brother Ben. Life seems perfect - until she meets the mysterious Will Jameson. As the world plunges into war, social barriers and old family feuds combine to force Grace into a decision she is not ready to make. Will she ever be able to live with the consequences? In this changed world, can she find the courage to stand up for what she really wants? And will there ever be a way to make things right for her - and sixty years later for Annie?
