Jenny Maynard has left her marriage to her husband, Rob, and her two children, Lorna and Nicholas, to live with her first love Martin Barretti. 

Intrigued by what her adoptive mother told her before she died about her South African birth father, she begins a search for him that takes 26 years. Due to the internet and the availability of DNA testing she eventually traces him, although by then he has sadly died. However, she is thrilled to be able to reconnect with her birth siblings and her life is good. 

But three years later, a life changing secret that she has kept for years could be divulged, which would threaten the rest of her life. What can she possibly do to avoid this happening?
