The Runaway Sisters (2020)
The story of two sisters fighting to survive in the darkest days of World War Two.
A heartbreaking tale of resilience and bravery, about having the courage to sacrifice yourself in order to save the ones you love . . .
Devon, present day:
Helen Cavendish’s relationship with her mother has always been strained.
Her mother is quiet and stoic, with no other family to speak of, but as Helen goes through her mother’s possessions, packing her up to move her to a care home, she finds photographs of two little evacuee girls that will change everything she thought she knew . . .
1940:
When fifteen-year-old Daisy is evacuated from her home in London, she knows she must look after her younger sister Peggy. She is the only one who can reassure Peggy that life will go back to normal, holding her close and reading to her from their one battered children’s book.
But when the sisters are taken into the countryside, Daisy quickly realises that not everyone at home is on the right side of the war. Forced to work in fields alongside orphan children, she finds herself drawn to a young boy called John, who has tried and failed to escape many times before. He protects the other children, and his bravery inspires Daisy.
Then Peggy gets sick and Daisy knows that, to save her life, they must run away.
As the sounds of German engines grow louder above her, Daisy is faced with an impossible choice - escape with just her sister, or risk her life to save others?
It’s a choice that is destined to affect her family for generations . . .
The Orphan House (2018)
As she looks at the baby wriggling in her father’s arms, a bolt of recognition goes through her and she takes a step back.
And it’s in that moment that she begins to protect her father’s secrets.
1934, Weirfield-on-Thames.
Connie Burroughs loves living in the orphanage that her father runs.
Exploring its nooks and crannies with her sister, hearing the pounding of a hundred pairs of feet on the wooden stairs, having a father who is doing so much good.
But everything changes the day she sees him carrying a newborn baby that he says he found near the broken front gate.
A baby she recognises . . .
Present day.
Arriving at her father’s beloved cottage beside the river, Sarah Jennings is hoping for peace and quiet, to escape her difficult divorce.
But when she finds her father unwell and hunched over boxes of files on the orphanage where he was abandoned as a child, she decides to investigate it herself.
The only person left alive who lived at Cedar Hall is Connie Burroughs, but Connie sits quietly in her nursing home for a reason.
The sewing box under Connie’s bed hides secrets that will change Sarah’s life forever, uncovering a connection between them that has darker consequences than she could ever imagine.
The Child Without a Home (2022)
1944, East Prussia.
When the war comes to twelve-year-old Agnes’ village, she finds herself stuck between two terrifying armies. Everyone in her town has been forced to fight for the Nazis, and as the Red Army approaches every innocent woman and child is made to leave their home.
Then tragedy strikes and Agnes and her brother Dieter find themselves completely alone in a vast, isolated woodland.
Though she is terrified, Agnes knows that she must protect her brother, no matter the cost . . .
Cambridge, present day.
When her beloved grandfather dies, Freya is distraught.
Not only has she lost the man who helped raise her, but she knows the story of his time as a pilot in World War Two, and her family’s history, is gone forever.
But then Freya meets her new next-door neighbour Agnes, whose accent is just like her grandfather’s.
She has a framed picture of a snow-covered castle that looks strangely familiar, and a weather-beaten image of a little blonde boy in braces and boots.
Agnes vowed never to tell the painful story of the young boy who risked everything for her, even if Freya believes Agnes may hold the key to unlocking her own family’s secrets.
But what Freya doesn’t realise is that Agnes’ past has the power to change everything she ever thought she knew about her family . . .
