  • About

    Josie lives in an idyllic village near the south coast, in the thatched cottage she inherited from her grandmother… the only home she’s ever known in her sheltered life.

    [bg_collapse view=”button-blue” color=”#FFFFFF” icon=”eye” expand_text=”Show More…” collapse_text=”Show Less…” inline_css=”font-size:15px;font-weight:600;” ]

    At the outbreak of the Second World War, the seclusion of her cottage makes it the perfect place for her best friend, Elizabeth, to bring her children, away from the threats and dangers of London.

    However, when Elizabeth unexpectedly abandons the children to return to London, her husband Will, an RAF fighter pilot, is furious, writing to Josie to apologise. And although the two have never met, their correspondence continues, blossoming into something more, despite Will’s marriage.

    Guilt and propriety keep them apart, but when tragedy strikes, secrets come to light and it seems their love might just have a chance… except the war is not on Josie and Will’s side. Distance, misunderstandings, jealousy and disastrous accidents threaten to end their relationship before it has even begun.

    And while Will knows the bright star will always lead him home, the question is, will Josie still be there waiting for him?

    The sequel to Light and Darkness by Wendy Lawrance

    [bg_collapse view=”button-blue” color=”#FFFFFF” icon=”eye” expand_text=”Show More…” collapse_text=”Show Less…” inline_css=”font-size:15px;font-weight:600;” ]

    It’s more than twenty years since the end of the First World War, and for most people, it’s little more than a distant memory of trenches, lice and noise, and friendships forged to last a lifetime. For Harry Belmont, the nightmares keep it more alive than that, and they continue to haunt him, despite his peaceful existence on the Cornish coast, with his beautiful wife, Elise and daughter, Amy.

    Now, as tragedy brings Harry back to his childhood home, war looms again; only this time, the fight belongs to the next generation and, Harry must sit and wait… and worry, as the sons of his dearest friends take up arms. They turn to him for help and advice, because he knows, better than any of them, the true cost of war, but when faced with the possibility of a loss much closer to home, who will be there for Harry?

    Yours Always is a story of love, loss, secrets and remembrance, told during the dark days of the Second World War, from the point of view of the young men and women who must take up the fight, and the older generation, who know what it means to sacrifice everything, and are now being asked to do so again… in the name of their children.
