Torn between her family and a last chance at love... Raising three boys and running the Arcadia Hotel almost single handed are enough to keep widow Kitty Ryan busy. She has no time for romance - unless it"s in the form of a rare evening out at the local picture house in the company of Mr Fred Astair. Then along comes John Mcleod, bringing with him a second chance at happiness. However, as Hitler grows too big for his boots and "Peace in our time" becomes an empty refrain, Kitty finds her sons unwilling to accept another man into their household. Unless she can reunite her menfolk, the future looks set to be that of a family in conflict, in a world on the eve of war... (Note: Originally published as Kitty and Her Boys.)
