"Wakerly's books do a wonderful job in helping to promote understanding where there is ignorance and tolerance where there is bigotry. I recommend them heartily." Sue Cook,
broadcaster and writer
Two years have passed since Kay successfully campaigned
for the Appley Green Gypsy Site, and four years since her
husband was murdered. Life in the village was going so well,
until the phone call and letter. Then comes the disastrous site
opening. Worst of all, Dunstan, whom she realises is her best
friend and ally, is giving her the cold shoulder for some
unknown reason.
Dunstan is taking an emotional trip down memory lane, into
childhood as a Gypsy on the road, and his eventual break
from his people. Why is he so angry with Kay that he keeps
away from her? Chances of a longed for reconciliation look
slim...
