The final heartbreaking instalment of The Guernsey Girls wartime trilogy by Mary Wood, bestselling author of The Orphanage Girls series.
Their dreams are worth fighting for . . .
Winter, 1941. Olivia’s life in Guernsey is uprooted by the Nazi occupation. Forced to flee in the dead of night, she escapes to London’s East End. As she steps foot in Bethnal Green, Olivia’s former life is there to greet her, and she’s ordered to spy for the British. To find her son’s father, she agrees to undertake this dangerous mission. Will she make it home to hold her little boy again?
Meanwhile, Annie’s husband is missing in action, and with each passing day, hope of him returning fades. It’s left for Annie to carry on – there are mouths to feed, and more with each nightly bombing campaign. Will she have to give up on true love?
The Guernsey Girls may be separated, but their friendship remains strong. Through tragedy and strife, can they hold on to dreams of peace?
'Wood is a born storyteller' – Lancashire Evening Post
Born the thirteenth child of fifteen to a middle-class mother and an East End barrow boy, Mary Wood’s childhood was a mixture of love and poverty. Throughout her life, Mary has held various posts in office roles, working in the probation services, and brought up her four children and numerous grandchildren, step-grandchildren and great-grandchildren. An avid reader, she first put pen to paper in 1989 while nursing her mother through her final months, but didn’t become successful until she began self-publishing her writing in 2011.
Her novels include the Jam Factory Girls series, the Orphanage Girls series, All I Have to Give, An Unbreakable Bond, In Their Mother’s Footsteps and the Breckton novels.
