About this ebook
'An enthralling page-turner' DILLY COURT
'A heart-warming WW2 love story' ROSIE GOODWIN
'The queen of East End sagas' ELAINE EVEREST
Jean Fullerton, the RNA-shortlisted queen of the East End, returns with the final nostalgic and heart-warming story of the Brogan family.
_____
In the final days of war, only love will pull her through . . .
Queenie Brogan wasn't always an East End matriarch. Many years ago, before she married Fergus, she was Philomena Dooley, a daughter of Irish Travellers, planning to wed her childhood sweetheart, Patrick Mahone. But when tragedy struck and Patrick's narrow-minded sister, Nora, intervened, the lovers were torn apart.
Fate can be cruel, and when Queenie arrives in London she finds that Patrick Mahone is her parish priest, and that the love she had tried to suppress flares again in her heart.
But now in the final months of WW2, Queenie discovers Father Mahone is dying and must face losing him forever. Can she finally tell him the secret she has kept for over fifty years or will Nora once again come between them?
And if Queenie does decide to finally tell Patrick, could the truth destroy the Brogan family?

The latest in the Ration Book series begins with a prologue which takes the reader back to Ireland in June 1877, when a five-year-old Philomena Dooley (AKA Queenie Brogan) meets childhood sweetheart Patrick Mahone (who is two years older) for the first time. A bond is quickly established between the pair, but the encounter is abruptly ended by Patrick's narrow-minded sister, Nora. Chapter One then switches to London in February 1945 when, on the way back from collecting her food rations, Queenie witnesses Father Mahon being taken to hospital after collapsing at church. It's soon revealed that Father Mahon is Patrick Mahone and the chapter ends with another flashback to 19th Century Ireland when we are told that Philomena envisaged spending her life with Patrick. Now that he is dying, can Queenie finally tell the secret she has kept for over fifty years or will Nora once again come between them? And if Queenie does decide to tell Patrick, could the truth destroy the Brogan family?
