About
A heartwarming and moving story of inspiring women set at the beginning of World War II - fans of Katie Flynn, Call the Midwife and Downton Abbey will love this. __________ It's September 1940 and as bombs fall across the country Britain faces its darkest hour yet. Tucked on the edge of the Lake District lies Mary Vale, a Mother and Baby Home open to unmarried women and their children. But this sanctuary faces its own battles as three new women walk through its doors. From shipyard worker Gracie, to code-breaker Diana and German immigrant, Iris, these girls will leave Mary Vale very different to when they arrived and, like their country, will never be the same again. But can these girls put their differences aside to fight a common foe? Praise for Daisy Styles 'Will tug at the heart strings of readers everywhere. Wonderful!' Fiona Ford, author of The Liberty Girls 'Well done Daisy for creating characters that are real women in the best sense. Funny, scheming, loyal and witty, but about all, hardworking and proud. An absolute joy to read' Kate Thompson, bestselling author of Secrets of the Home Front Girls 'Truly endearing characters' Annie Murray, bestselling author of Now The War Is Over
