SMILES AND SONGS THAT HIDE A BROKEN HEART
Kathy Burton longs to escape the drudgery of her life as an unpaid labourer on her father’s farm. With only the local church choir and the occasional dance at the village hall for amusement, she yearns for the bright lights. Spurning Morry Robinson’s proposal of marriage, Kathy goes to live in the city with his aunt, Jemima Robinson. Jemima finds employment for Kathy in a department store, but is anxious when Kathy is captivated by the sophisticated and handsome manager, Tony Kendall.
Kathy has fallen deeply and irrevocably in love and, even when the country is plunged into war, she can see no obstacle to their future. But she has reckoned without the devious mind of Tony’s invalid mother, Beatrice Kendall.
Determined that the possessive woman won’t win, Kathy plans her wedding, but the day is ruined and Tony is called up before another date can be arranged. Feeling deserted, Kathy is forced to face yet further heartache and shame alone. At last she finds solace in a concert party entertaining service men and woman and war workers. But behind the songs and the smiles, her heart is breaking…
Recommended book, I couldn't put it down.
