The story of conflicting personalities and of a girl who would not look at the truth and a man who told it - too plainly! On the back of the dust wrapper: For one as sensitive as Karen, a person of Mrs. Ferndale's crushing personality was hard to bear; but to suggest that Karen's own husband had preferred to spend his leave with her, his mother, was too much ... and yet Karen learnt that it was true. Curiously enough, it was Simon who told her the plain unvarnished truth, and in the end she saw his wisdom and her own folly. |

She didn't even know that John had chosen to spend his last Christmas leave alone with her 'rival' - until his mother told her. But that was in the past. Now she had Simon, handsome, tender Simon, offering Karen true happiness ... if John's mother didn't ruin it a second time! |

Was he being cruel or kind in shattering her illusions? |
