The Hour of the Angel

An early marriage gave Ruth Gordon the love, security and contentment she craved. But nothing prepared her for the horror of her young husband’s death and its traumatic consequences.

A fresh start in the bustling anonymity of London gives Ruth the break she needs. Driven by ambition and confidence in her own abilities, she rises from usherette to manageress and eventually, the owner of a fashionable chain of cinemas.

She finds love again and when she believes life could not get any better, it goes horribly wrong and leaves her to carry on with her children while the shrouded secret of her past returns to torment her and destroy the only happiness she could cling to.
