About this eBook

A moving family drama of one young woman’s fight to survive, to find her long-lost relatives and to find a place to call home

Bridgette has been hurt many times in her life. Her early years were blighted by her spoilt brother; her marriage ruined by World War Two. Now her mother is dying. And then comes a deathbed revelation – somewhere Bridgette has another family and a father.

Bridgette joins the war effort and shows her courage by aiding a British Agent whose life is in danger. But, as the war draws to a close, Bridgette is still full of questions about her past and is determined to find the answers. So she sets off for Birmingham – not knowing what she will discover, but desperately hoping to find a place where she can finally belong...

Good read with some historical insight to how life was during the second world war. Interesting to get a different view on how life was in France.
