When Libby is brought to Charles’s attention, he comes to admire her competence, while his sons Edward and Hugh admire her vivacious looks and likeable personality. Despite her lowly background, both brothers vie for her attention, but using vastly different methods. Libby grows to love one brother and despise the other, with disastrous consequences for everybody. MISSING YOU is a compulsive tale of romance, desire, treachery and tragedy, set against the backdrop of World War Two.
