Praise for Jeanne Whitmee:
''Page-turning vitality.’ Daily Mail
‘Virtually unputdownable.’ Peterborough Evening Telegraph
Perfect for fans Lesley Pearse, Annie Murray, Diane Allen, Dilly Court, and Lyn Andrews.
Northamptonshire, 1939. Nine-year-old Kathy O'Connor steps off the evacuee bus from Hackney with nothing but a gas mask and a heavy heart.
Turned away by one cold-hearted billet, she finds a home at Magpie Farm, where the Spicer family teach her to hope and to dream of a future. There is Elaine, once her fiercest rival and soon her dearest friend, and Chris, the farmer's son who captures her young heart.
But the war takes the one person Kathy has left, and when peace comes, her stepbrothers summon her back to the grimy streets of Hackney and their shop on Kemsley Street.
Behind its counter lie secrets she was never meant to see, and one night on a bombsite, Kathy is drawn into something she can never undo.
Ashamed and afraid, she flees to the only place she has ever felt safe, and to a quiet life behind the village post office counter.
But when Chris returns from the army, she finds the love she has always longed for . . . until her past comes looking for her.
