The secrets of Rayna Laurence’s past threaten to unravel the life she’s created for herself in West London in 1957.
A young West Indian girl with a talent for singing, Rayna takes a job as a barmaid in a local pub, and it’s there that she meets the charismatic leader of a West Indian jazz band, Eddie Keane. But when her affections become the subject of a tug-of-war between Terry Collins, the pub owner, and Eddie, Rayna chooses Terry, but the love triangle is far from over.
As her fame and fortune as a performer grow, Rayna finds her past catching up with her.
Will the secrets of her former life in the West Indies destroy the life she’s built for herself?
An emotional story of love, music, and hidden truths in post Windrush London.
