內容簡介

England, 1941: Heartbroken villager Winnie has only just lost her husband when she's asked to house an evacuee from the city. Will these two lonely souls heal each other's broken hearts? An inspiring and emotional story of love, loss and hope in the darkest of days.

After her husband died fighting for their country, Winnie is heartbroken, reeling, and suddenly solely responsible for the struggling family pub. With nothing else to focus on, she pours her heart and soul into her work, trying desperately to keep afloat.

When news arrives of a ten-year-old girl who lost her mother and siblings in the Blitz, Winnie is unsure if she can help. She knows little Francine is alone and in need of a home, but she doesn't know how much love she has to offer. But there is nowhere else for Francine to go, and Winnie can't bear to think of her without a family...

Caring for a little girl as the war rages and resources run low takes all of Winnie's energy. But little Francine is full of ideas to help keep the pub open, and as her cheeky sense of humour and infectious giggle breathe life back into Winnie's world, Winnie's heart opens to the possibility of love. That is, until the Canadian pilot she's fallen for has to return home, and asks Winnie to go with him - just as Francine's relatives appear to try and claim her.

Winnie can't bear the thought of losing the family she and Francine have become, but is it safer for Francine to let her go or hold her close? And can they leave the past behind and find the happy ending they both deserve?

A heart-wrenching yet totally uplifting historical novel set in World War Two that is impossible to put down and will have you reaching for the tissues. Perfect for fans of Diney Costeloe, Shirley Dickson and Sandy Taylor.
