About this audiobook
Edie’s hopes of serving overseas are dashed when she’s sent to be a Land Girl in a sleepy Cumbrian village.
Prue has shut the world out since her son went away to fight. Yet when asked to take in a Land Girl and two little evacuees from London, she has no choice.
Edie’s heart breaks seeing the children’s cold welcome. But when the evacuees take in a stray puppy, even Prue can’t say no.
Edie realises Applefield Manor could become a sanctuary. But can she persuade Prue to open her heart, and her home?
A moving, uplifting wartime story that fans of Glynis Peters’ The Secret Orphan will love.
‘A plucky heroine whose heart embraces any stray animal amidst a cast of believable characters you can't help caring for – this is a moving story of friendship and love set against the backdrop of the Second World War’ Molly Green, author of A Sister’s Courage
‘An unputdownable, uplifting read which will tug at your heartstrings’ Rosie Hendry, author of The Mother’s Day Club
