Produktbeschreibung
Ten year-old Colin Clarke boards a train bound for the British countryside, where strangers have agreed to safeguard him from the bombs soon to darken London skies. His mother, Beryl, remains in London, her work as a nurse exacting a mounting toll as she tends the wounds of those caught in the ferocious bombing. Beryl desperately misses her son, as well as her husband, Gordon, a soldier captured in the early days of the war. Her friendship with an American pilot, Jack, eases her loneliness and sense of overwhelm, their attachment deepening until it crosses a line. Gordon, meanwhile, a POW in Poland, has formed an improbable liaison of his own. He has caught the eye of Annalise, wife of the camp commandant. She believes Gordon can help her escape Poland and a marriage that stifles her. Together, they can forge an utterly new life--if Gordon is willing to forsake all he's known. Will he follow Annalise--and save himself? If he makes it back to England, will Beryl still be waiting?--
Autorenporträt
Pamela Norsworthy applies the same tenacity she used as a writer with CNN Headline News to ensure every detail in her historical novels is accurate and illuminating. After a career in television and corporate communications, Pamela turned to fiction writing to share her love of history and politics and explore how decisions made by a powerful few can prove cataclysmic for everyday people caught in the crossfire. A graduate of the University of Virginia (2019 NCAA Men's Basketball Champions), Pamela lives with her husband and two very spoiled dogs in Atlanta, Georgia, all four of them loyal Atlanta Braves baseball fans.
