The forgotten girls
(Paperback)

"London, 1943. German bombs rain down on London, but Elaine Parker knows her job transcribing letters from far-away prisoners of war is more important than her own safety. At home, Elaine's life isn't so simple--as the main breadwinner for her struggling family, she doesn't have much time to consider her own future hopes and dreams. And then Elaine meets dark-haired and passionate Bobby--a wartime photographer on the dangerous front line--and her world shifts. Will Elaine be forced to choose between her family and her growing passion for Bobby? And how do you let yourself love someone with your whole heart when each moment could be their last? Present day. Even the kiss of warm sunshine and the musical call of birds at her family's countryside villa can't make Jen forget the heartbreak she's left behind. That is, until she begins to investigate the origins of a tattered family photograph: two sweet little girls gazing out across a sparkling bay, their eyes clear and hopeful--looking for all the world as if England hadn't just suffered the most terrible war imaginable. What is the story behind the picture, and could it finally be the key to mending the cracks in Jen's own past?"--Amazon.com.
