' Look after Violet!' her mother called, as she was bundled into the back of the car. Then she was gone. When Maggie' s new job takes her from bombed-out London to grand Snowden Hall in the Cotswolds she' s apprehensive but determined to do her bit for the war effort. She' s also keeping a secret, one she knows would turn opinion against her. Her mother is German: Maggie is related to the enemy. Then her evacuee sister sends her a worrying letter, missing the code they agreed Violet would use to confirm everything was well, and Maggie' s heart sinks. Violet is miles away; how can she get to her in the middle of a war? Worse, her mother, arrested for her nationality, is now missing, and Maggie has no idea where she is. As a secret project at Snowden Hall risks revealing Maggie' s German side, she becomes even more determined to protect her family. Can she find a way to get to her sister? And will she ever find out where her mother has been taken? An emotional and heartbreaking wartime novel for fans of Diney Costeloe, Dilly Court and Mandy Robotham. Readers LOVE A Wartime Secret!

Helen Yendall has had dozens of short stories and a serial published in women' s magazines over the past twenty years and now writes female-focused WW2 novels. She' s a member of the Romantic Novelists' Association. She studied English and German at Leeds University and has worked in a variety of roles: for a literary festival, a university, a camping club, a children' s charity and in marketing and export sales. But her favourite job is the one she still has: teaching creative writing to adults. Although a proud Brummie by birth, Helen now lives in the North Cotswolds with her husband and cocker spaniel, Bonnie. When she' s not teaching or writing, she likes reading, swimming, tennis and walking in the beautiful countryside where she lives.
