In 1942, Kate Denis drowned herself in a stinking pond of run-off from a leather tannery in Rushden, England. Or so her daughter Marie was told. According to the story, Kate found herself pregnant by an American GI while her husband was fighting in Africa. In despair, she killed herself. All through her childhood, merciless schoolmates taunted Marie as the daughter of a whore. But Marie could never quite believe the stories. The details didn't make sense. Who would drown herself in such a place, leaving her other baby unprotected in a pram all alone? Marie hated the story, and hated that her mother had been buried in a pauper's grave. It was Marie's dying wish that a headstone be laid on her mother's grave-and that the truth of her death be discovered. Fifty years after Kate's death, Marie's husband Phil returns to England to discover the truth. Kate's Legacy is a war story, a love story, and a story of redemption.

But the weekends away, the sweet nothings whispered in her ear, and the secret rendezvous at work functions all got to her. He was her biggest weakness, and she would do anything he asked. But then he started pulling away. It got worse when the new intern, Chelsea, was promoted. Her revealing clothes and flirtatious nature made Kate instantly dislike her, and M seemed to need Kate less and less. And then the unthinkable happened. It wasn’t just that she’d woken up alone the morning after telling M she loved him or that he hadn’t even texted her in the days after. No. It was M kissing Chelsea on New Year’s Eve. Kate struggles to forget the past, tries to get over M, but she can’t get him out of her head. She moves away, starts a new life, but nothing seems to work. She finally sees a glimmer of hope when she meets a handsome new man on her way to her sister’s wedding. But when M re-enters her life she needs to make a choice: keep pining after M or move on with her life.
