A ROMANTIC, SWEEPING AND EMOTIONAL WORLD WAR I HISTORICAL FAMILY SAGA.

Winter, 1916.

The darkness of the winter sky will always give way to the spring. As the war ravages Europe, in the little village of Ashden optimism has given way to stoicism — bereavements and shortages are taking their toll. The Lilley family, once safe within the walls of the Rectory, are now scattered across Europe. Felicia and Aunt Tilly are nursing at a front-line in Ypres. Despite the relentless suffering, Felicia shines. Faced with unimaginable horrors, she never falters in her desire to give hope to those who lie on the brink of death. Meanwhile, Caroline Lilley is grappling with her own grief and uncertainty. She takes a leap of faith and plunges into the dangerous world of military intelligence. Not only is her life at risk, but after meeting an old acquaintance, so is her heart . . .

The two Lilley sisters find themselves in a world so far removed from the comforts of Ashden. Both must face the stark realities of conflict and draw upon their inner strength to survive. This captivating and heartfelt historical saga delves deep into the lives of those left behind during the First World War, exploring themes of love, loss, and the indomitable human spirit.
