Days You Were Mine

A life-changing love story. A devastating decision.

1972. Alice Garland can't take her eyes off Jacob Earl. With his black curls and snakeskin boots, the lead singer of the Disciples commands the stage. It's the beginning of a passionate relationship. For a while it feels like they're at the centre of something electrifying. But it doesn't take long before the dream starts to fall apart.

2000. Even the arrival of his gorgeous baby son can't stop Luke feeling like an outsider. When he finds his birth mother, Alice, it seems like he's found the missing piece in his life. And she seems delighted to be a grandmother.

But Alice is still battling with demons of her own - she's still not forgotten the heart-breaking event that forced her to give up Luke.

She will do anything to stop history repeating itself.
