fall for her.
But
soon the railway is forced to close and a terrible accident occurs
within the station grounds, Ted finds his job and any hope of a
relationship with Annie hanging in the balance…

from heartbreak after a disastrous marriage, Tilly decides to escape
from the bustling capital and move to Dorset to stay with her dad,
Ken. When Ken convinces Tilly to help with the restoration of the old
railway, she discovers a diary hidden in the old ticket office. Tilly
is soon swept up in Ted’s story, and the fateful accident that
changed his life forever.

she can’t help but feel a connection with Ted’s story in the
past.
