It' s September 1940 and as bombs fall across the country Britain faces its darkest hour yet. Tucked on the edge of the Lake District lies Mary Vale, a Mother and Baby Home open to unmarried women and their children. But this sanctuary faces its own battles as three new women walk through its doors. From shipyard worker Gracie, to code-breaker Diana and German immigrant, Iris, these girls will leave Mary Vale very different to when they arrived and, like their country, will never be the same again. But can these girls put their differences aside to fight a common foe?

Praise for Daisy Styles * - * This book brought home wonderfully the vivid camaraderie wartime women shared and their immense sacrifices on the Home Front. Well done Daisy for creating characters that are real women in the best sense. Funny, scheming, loyal and witty, but about all, hardworking and proud. An absolute joy to read -- Kate Thompson, bestselling author of * Secrets of the Home Front Girls * Feisty young women, a country house in wartime and a scheming aristocrat - all ingredients for a cracking story with truly endearing characters -- Annie Murray, bestselling author of * Now The War Is Over * This is her best yet. I devoured it in one sitting - it' s a real page turner that will delight and tug at the heart strings of readers everywhere. Wonderful! -- Fiona Ford, author of * The Liberty Girls *
Daisy Styles grew up in Lancashire surrounded by a family and community of strong women whose tales she loved to listen to. It was from these women, particularly her vibrant mother and Irish grandmother, that Daisy learned the art of storytelling. There was also the landscape of her childhood - wide, sweeping, empty moors and hills that ran as far as the eye could see - which was a perfect backdrop for a saga, a space big enough and wild enough to stage a drama, one about women' s lives during the Second World War.
