Can the Women on the Home Front protect their community as war rages on?

England, 1940.

When Anna, a young woman who fled her country, seeks refuge, Thea invites her to live and work at Rookery House and join their growing family. But while many in the village welcome Anna with open arms, others are suspicious of her German heritage.

Sisters Prue and Thea, along with the wider community of Great Plumstead, are doing all they can to help the war effort, from running the mobile canteen for the Women's Voluntary Service to organising clothing drives and collecting salvage.

As the war intensifies panic sweeps the country that invasion is imminent, and Anna is taken into custody by the government who fear she's a German spy. Will the women of Great Plumstead come together in Anna's time of need to keep the newest member of their community safe from the troubles of war?

'Once in a while there comes along a book that is so wonderful that you just want to curl up in a chair and not move until you've read it cover to cover, and this is one of those books.' Reviewer

'A book you just can't put down.' Reviewer.

'Such an amazing book! Immersed me from the very start until the very end.' Goodreads reviewer

'I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed a book so much that I didn't stop reading all day. This was one of those books that developed a hold over me and it was a hold that I wasn't willing to break. I became so wrapped up in the story that I started to think of most of the characters as friends and I had to know how the story panned out for them.' Goodreads reviewer
