His beloved mother and infant son are missing, displaced after surviving the Blitz. Consumed by loss, Jack embarks on an unrelenting search across war-torn England to find the family fate so cruelly ripped away from him. Fate intervenes when a chance encounter provides Jack the first glimmer of hope for a bittersweet reunion. Will he find his family in time before they are lost in the fog of war?

Ever found a fortune or something of great value that is not yours? Lucky you? If the owner is unknown to you, what do you do? Nancy finds such an unclaimed fortune and wrestles with the notion of telling someone, or keeping silent. In this peculiar situation, Nancy knows her husband would not approve of her keeping the money and so keeps him in ignorance whilst she works out what to do with it. Her husband dies never knowing that his wife has a fortune hidden in the house. Can Nancy find a way of laundering the money and banking it legitimately? Along the way, Nancy meets a friend who is having a problem with a baby and somehow Nancy feels an inexplicable psychic connection to this child, especially when she realises the child was born on the same day and at the same time that her husband passed away. As the child grows Nancy takes over financing his education and puts him through university and then on to medical school where he becomes a prominent physician.
