In Rita Bradshaw's Always I'll Remember , one young woman faces jealousy, tragedy and a dark secret, yet love and friendship see her through the worst. Perfect for fans of Dilly Court and Lyn Andrews.
It's 1939 and Abigail Vickers, enjoying her promising new job in an office, is overjoyed when she meets James Benson there and they both fall completely in love. But life for Abby is a constant struggle against her dominant and selfish mother, Nora, who is jealous of Abby's beauty and success. When war breaks out, all their lives change forever.
In the furore of patriotism that follows, James signs up and Abby swears to wait for him, joining the land army to do her bit. But when Abby's father is involved in a dreadful accident, a terrible secret that Nora has been carrying for years is revealed, tearing the family apart. After receiving heart breaking news of James, Abby begins to wonder if she will ever find happiness. Only time will tell if there are better days ahead...

A very lovely book with a lot of twist and turns. It has some sad and unexpected parts but that’s mimicking real life...
Following the life of Abby from her childhood till adulthood, through the war, the loss of an important relationship and the eventual happy ending. A really good book! -
Loved this book it follows the life of Abby Vickers and her family. It starts in 1921 and goes through the war and ends in 1955. Poor Abby has a terrible time with her Mum who beats her but nothing prepares Abby for the awful family secret her mum has kept from everyone until it suits her to tell and try to ruin Abby's life. I highly recommend this book a great read from start to finish.
