But, when they get there, they face disaster as the Germans have invaded and taken over their island. Harriet must find a way to survive while her home is overrun. Annie is on the mainland and is worried about her friend who is in the midst of the invasion. As more children arrive from Guernsey to be relocated by the authorities, Annie passes Harriet’s child off as her own for fear of him being taken. She must find a way to contact Harriet to find out if she is okay. With death on the doorstep and the future unclear, will Harriet and Annie’s friendship give them the courage to endure the invasion with their spirits intact?

About the Author
Born the thirteenth child of fifteen to a middle-class mother and an East End barrow boy, Mary Wood’s childhood was a mixture of love and poverty. Throughout her life, Mary has held various posts in office roles, working in the probation services, and brought up her four children and numerous grandchildren, step-grandchildren and great-grandchildren. An avid reader, she first put pen to paper in 1989 while nursing her mother through her final months, but didn’t become successful until she began self-publishing her writing in 2011. Her novels include All I Have to Give, An Unbreakable Bond, In Their Mother’s Footsteps and the Breckton novels.
