September 1940, Bristol -
When Hitler's bombs started raining down on her city, Susan Beckett's first thought was for her own survival. But hearing the sound of a small child weeping outside her front door, she did what anyone would... and brought her inside, to safety.
Since that day, Susan's only thought has been for the children she helps protect - even as it becomes painfully clear they've lost everything, and the authorities don't have space to look after them all.
Susan knew her own home wasn't big enough for them all - nor was it safe, as the bombing intensified.
Then wealthy benefactor, Stephen Audley, showed up at her door with a promise to help. Now, she has put her trust in him and moved herself and the orphans she's caring for into Hatherley Hall, the stately home he lives in. But will she - and her beloved orphans - be safe with him? Her heart says yes...
Praise for Rachel Brimble:
'I enjoyed this heart-warming yet gritty and gripping first book of the series. Sylvia, Freda and Veronica, work hard in their job of nursing the wounded, each of them with their own secret heartache... Compelling reading. Another winner for this lovely author... A series that will garner a host of readers.' Lizzie Lane
'This a new writer for me and I absolutely loved this book. Well-researched, well-written and I couldn't put it down.' Fenella J Miller
'Fantastic... Promises to be a brilliant series.' Rosie Clarke
'Heartwarming! I loved following the lives of the three girls, and the storyline pulled me in quickly, holding my attention. It was hard to put down!' Patricia McBride
