About this ebook

The noise of bombs in the distance kept her awake... Nothing would ever be the same again.

LONDON, 1940

England is in the grip of the Blitz, and as the bombs fall, nine-year-old Maddy Belfield’s home is destroyed, leaving her orphaned.

A SPARK OF HOPE

Sent to the Yorkshire Dales to live with her remaining relatives, Maddy meets Gloria and her little brother, abandoned by their desperate mother. Maddy and Gloria swear to be friends forever and their bond brings joy into the darkest days of their lives.

A BURIED SECRET

But when tragedy strikes, the girls are torn apart. And years later, when chance reunites them, Maddy knows she must return to Yorkshire to face the past – no matter the consequences.

A gripping story of love, hope, and friendship that lasts a lifetime. Perfect for fans of Glynis Peters and Molly Green.

I enjoyed how the story followed the lives and perspectives of 4 different characters. The author artfully wove them together. Good historical fiction!
