"Angela McCluskey is haunted by the young baby that she left on the steps of the workhouse.

Angela, meanwhile, has carried the guilt of her actions with her for almost a decade, now widowed and alone, she is courted by a new suitor, Eddie, who seems to offer her the happiness she craves. When Angela's teenage daughter, Constance, discovers that Eddie is not all he seems to be, it drives a wedge between mother and daughter. But some secrets won't stay hidden forever and must face the past and the choices that she made."--Provided by publisher.
