Description

A captivating saga set on the eve of WW2 in Liverpool, where life is about to change forever for one girl.

When her mother died when she was just seven years old, Molly helped her grief-stricken father look after their tiny home in their tight-knit Liverpool street. Though she’s always felt in the shadow of her sister June, as WWII breaks out, Molly sees a chance to do her bit for her home town.

Enlisting in the Women's Voluntary Service, Molly is terrified of what lies ahead, but she also meets Edie and lives for the time they spend together. In their snatched moments when Edie is on leave from the Navy, the two of them excitedly plan their future.

After tragedy strikes, Molly’s happiness is snatched away, but she knows there is more at stake that one broken heart. Molly wants to be brave like her mother would have wanted her to be – can she find the courage to carry on for the sake of her country and her family?

Reviews

Praise for Annie Groves:

‘An engrossing story.’ My Weekly

‘A stirring and heartrending family saga…Against a backdrop of change when the suffragette movement was coming to the fore, the choices and dreams of a generation of women combine to create this passionate story.’ Liverpool Daily Post

‘Heartwrenching and uplifting in equal measure – a tragic indictment of what can happen when you swap passion for duty. Roll on the sequel!’ Take a Break

‘Exceptionally good within this area, well written and beautifully developed characters.’ Sarah Broadhurst
