| book description |

How much would you be willing to sacrifice for those you love? A moving saga of true love, set against the backdrop of the Second World War - perfect for fans of Josephine Cox, Rita Bradshaw and Catherine Cookson. Growing up in Preston's poorest area, Kat Shaw knows just how harsh life can be. But her family is a loving one, and she's particularly close to her younger brother. The arrival of a new baby in 1930 should be a joyous occasion - but instead the birth heralds a downturn in the family's fortunes. With her father unfit to do his night watchman rounds, Kat does all she can to help her family survive. But when Andrew Pitt comes into her life, everything changes. Kat's soon happily in love, and she and Andrew make plans to marry. Then tragedy strikes and Kat takes the only course she can to protect those who depend on her. Soon the nickname 'The Watchman's Daughter' becomes infamous in the north-west. But Kat is determined to find a way out. A way to escape - and to get back to the man she loves.
