Queenie Brogan wasn't always an East End matriarch. Many years ago, before she married Fergus, she was Philomena Dooley, daughter of Irish Travellers, planning to wed her childhood sweetheart Patrick Mahon. But when tragedy struck, and Patrick's narrow-minded sister Nora intervened, the lovers were torn apart. Fate can be cruel: when Queenie arrives in London, she finds that Patrick Mahon is her parish priest, and the love she had tried to suppress flares again in her heart. But now, in the final months of WW2, Queenie discovers Father Mahon is dying and must face losing him forever. Can she finally tell him the secret she has kept for over fifty years, or will Nora once again come between them? And could the truth destroy the Brogan family?
