But when his ship is sunk mid-Atlantic, Harry takes the opportunity to assume the identity of one his deceased rescuers and begin a new life.

Landing in America, he quickly discovers he has made a mistake and without any way to prove his true identity, Harry is now chained to a past that could be far worse than the one he had hoped to escape . . .

I couldn't wait to read this after the first one 'Only Time Will Tell' and I wasn't disappointed. What a cliff hanger at the end!!!! I shouted NOOOOOOO I can't believe I have to wait till March 2013 for the verdict.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book from the beginning to the end. The Story of Harry Clifton picks off from the first book and you immediately find yourself immersed in all the characters lives. Really good book, there was never a boring part. Look forward to get my hands on the final book.

Another captivating read, although not as riveting as Only time will tell it was still a good read. Helping us to catch up on the two families entwined within its pages.
