In the late1930s in the aftermath of the Great Depression few opportunities existed for working-class boys, but at just eighteen Danny Dunn has a bit going for him: brains, looks, sporting ability- and an easy charm. His parents run The Hero, a favourite neighbourhood pub, and Danny is seen as that rare exception, a working class boy going places.
War intervenes and he is captured at the Fall of Singapore and ends up on the Burma Railway. He returns home a physically broken man, to a life that will be changed forever. Together with Helen, a woman of strength, character and intelligence who becomes his wife they set about rebuilding his life. A tale shaped by personal demons, compassion, corruption, love and power and the gift of twin daughters, Sam and Gabby.
