The Heart Ladder by Sibby Spencer

As the war in Vietnam stutters to a close, a heavily pregnant Faith flees America for a new life in England. Leaving behind everything she knew, including the mystery of what happened to the father of her unborn child after he went missing behind enemy lines. Three decades on and her son, thirty-something slacker Dan, knows he’s wasting his life in his dead-end job. That all changes, though, when a man with storied eyes and an old army jacket introduces himself as the father Dan never had a chance to know. But is Jacob, a battered and broken war veteran, really who he claims to be?

“The Heart Ladder is a great read! I felt so invested in the characters and the storyline keeps you guessing right up until the end. Sibby Spencer gives an excellent portrayal of life in the early noughties and the twist is something you won’t guess in a million years!” – Martyn Williams, BBC Radio Derby.
