Two women. One war. A friendship that will change everything...A sweeping and emotional WW1 historical fiction novel, perfect for fans of Daisy Wood, Rachel Burton, and Evie Woods…
Mary Cooper and Alice Dearing’s lives are worlds apart. Though both born and raised in Stonedale, the gulf between the humble mill worker and the privileged mill owner’s daughter seems insurmountable.
But when war reaches the village, it upends every life in its path. Soon Mary and Alice find themselves working together at the local military hospital and an unlikely friendship begins to form.
Beyond the hospital walls, though, old divisions still run deep. When disaster strikes at the mill and suspicion spreads, Mary and Alice must decide where they stand. Because staying true to themselves means risking their livelihoods, their reputations, and the only home either of them has ever known...
