Fleeing her beloved country, her journey was only just beginning . . .

1939. With war imminent in Poland, knowing the dangers her people face, Tamar flees to London while her fiancé, Isaac, must stay and fulfil his duty to his country. He carries with him a silver clasp from Tamar’s bracelet as a token of her love.

In the heart of the East End, Tamar strikes up a friendship with two women; but when the devastation of war reaches Tamar’s doorstep, she is recruited for espionage. Though she fears for her own life, the thought of Isaac being taken from her is worse still.

When Tamar’s nightmare comes true, her world is shattered, and she returns to London – to the women and community she has come to know as her family and home. Together, they begin to rebuild their lives. And then Isaac’s silver clasp returns . . .

Can Tamar hold on to the hope of a miracle?

Her Hidden Courage is a compelling, compassionate story of women at the onset of World War II from the beloved author of the bestselling Orphanage Girls series.

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 All I Have to Give, An Unbreakable Bond, In Their Mother’s Footsteps and the bestselling Orphanage Girls series.
