Another Julia Kelly book that I enjoyed. She writes very emotional stories and you genuinely care about the characters… most of them anyway. The grandmother and Mrs. Thompson needed a good slap

Well done plot with great character development

Maggie is sent to the country during the war to stay safe from the bombings. The house she is staying in bombed and her mother assumes she has died.
Viv and her husband Joshua are estranged at the time of Maggie’s birth. The story is mostly about them during the war with some of Maggie sprinkled in.
