Description
Liverpool was taking a pounding from German bombers in May 1941. For Mary Bradshaw and her widowed mother, life was marked by rationing, blackouts, and the constant threat of air raids. Despite the gloom, Mary's heart remained light, thanks to her loving mother and Bob, her soldier boyfriend. But fate had other plans. During one of the worst air raids Liverpool had ever suffered, Mary's world came crashing down around her. Devastated and alone, she struggled to cope with the blows that life was dealing her. However, she wasn't without support - her best friend Eileen stood by her side, as did Harry, who had loved Mary since childhood. As one door closed, another one opened for Mary. This poignant novel explores the challenges faced by young people during wartime, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
