Books, Manuscripts
Joanna has an impossible decision to make. Should she leave her family and friends behind and evacuate with her young daughter, or face the rest of the war wrenched apart? Desperate, lonely and frightened, Joanna keeps her fears hidden from little Mary. She is too young to carry such burdens, even for one as clever as she. Every day they watch the telegrams arrive at neighbouring houses, wondering if they will be next, carrying the dreaded news that all hope is lost. They toil until late, making do and mending what they can, while the bombs continue to devastate the land. Amid all the pain and suffering, it?s the little things that make all the difference, a warm bed, a night without air raids, a full stomach and the smell of a freshly picked bunch of bluebells. If you like stories of strong women overcoming extreme adversity, set in the both the North and South of England, you?ll love Mary?s tale as she looks back on a world that shaped who she became.
