This year’s book has one of my favourite covers and the gorgeous model with her lovely floppy hat is perfect for Molly. Both the ebook and hardback are published on the same day with the paperback to come next year. Molly’s story starts in 1940 amidst the onslaught of the London Blitz. Here is a short book description;
Molly Swift, at 27, has already suffered the tragic loss of her two-year-old daughter Emily, to the flu outbreak of 1935. Now she waits for news of her shopkeeper husband Ted, who volunteered at the outbreak of war, for the British Expeditionary Forces.
Molly is intent on running the general store with the help of her retired father, Bill Keen and ex-proprietor of the business. But after the building is hit during a bombing raid and Bill is severely injured, Molly faces difficult times. Alone in the hospital corridor as Bill is treated, Molly tries to keep positive. But the Blitz is well underway and she is forced to take shelter in the hospital’s basement. It’s here, as the bombs fall around docklands, that Molly meets Andy Miller and his two young children, Evie and Mark. An unlikely friendship begins as Molly offers the homeless group safe lodgings for the following night, and soon their lives are entwined, bringing unexpected joy and heartache for them all.
The tale is about lost love, healing and courage and I hope you will really enjoy reading the book as much as I did writing it.
