Peggy's wartime romance unfolds through a hopeful, compassionate lens confronting teenage dilemmas.
Peggy is turning a dark girlhood romance into a novel and is trying to get her fellow inmate at the mental hospital, known as the Duchess, to read the manuscript. Frankly the duchess would prefer a Mills and Boon, but her friend's wartime tragi-comedy soon gets a grip on her imagination.
For the Love of Willie is a compassionate look at wartime pregnancy and teenage predicaments through the eyes of Peggy, first as a shy sixteen year-old in love and later as an inmate in a psychiatric hospital.
Published to celebrate Agnes Owens' centenary year in 2026.
