The uplifting, festive WW2 romance saga novel

She lost everything in the Great War – her brothers, her fiancé, her way of life. Will this new war bring back long-buried feelings?

Beatrice is settling into life in the countryside, along with Victoria and Nell, as a teacher evacuee. Her world is turned upside down again when she meets David, the new doctor at the military hospital, whose kindness and gentleness warm her frozen heart.

Her remaining defences crumble entirely when the family of one of her pupils is killed in an airstrike, and she can no longer deny her motherly affection for the child.

But is Beatrice willing to risk the loss and heartache that comes with love in wartime? When David volunteers for military service and history threatens to repeat itself, Beatrice must dig deep to find the courage to live the life she’s dreamed of…

A gripping, festive Second World War saga for fans of Daisy Styles, Katie Flynn and Elaine Everest.
