"If at all possible, send or take your household animals into the
country in advance of an emergency. If you cannot place them in the
care of neighbours, it really is kindest to have them destroyed."
Joanna Ryan's father has gone off to war, leaving her in the care
of her step-mother, a woman more concerned with having a good time
than being any sort of parent to her. But then she finds a puppy,
left for dead, and Joanna becomes determined to save him, sharing
her meagre rations with him. But, in a time of war, pets are only
seen as an unnecessary burden and she is forced to hide her new
friend, Harry, from her step-mother and the authorities. With bombs
falling over Bristol and with the prospect of evacuation on the
horizon, can they stay together and keep each other safe? A
gripping, heartwarming historical saga from bestselling author
Lizzie Lane. Praise for Lizzie Lane: 'A gripping saga and a
storyline that will keep you hooked' Rosie Goodwin 'The Tobacco
Girls is another heartwarming tale of love and friendship and a
must-read for all saga fans.' Jean Fullerton 'Lizzie Lane opens the
door to a past of factory girls, redolent with life-affirming
friendship, drama, and choices that are as relevant today as they
were then.' Catrin Collier 'If you want an exciting, authentic
historical saga then look no further than Lizzie Lane.' Fenella J
Miller

Appelbaum, St. Petersburg Opera Guild, Vice-President of
Programming Ursula Becker's operatic star is on the rise in Nazi
Berlin...until she discovers that she is one-quarter Jewish.
Although Hitler is aware of her lineage, her popularity and
exquisite voice protect her and her family from persecution. When
William Patrick Hitler arrives in Germany and is offered employment
by his Uncle Adolf, a chance encounter with Ursula leads to a
romantic relationship that further shields the young diva from
mistreatment. But for how long? Ursula is ordered to sing at
Hitler's Berghof estate where she throws down a gauntlet that
unleashes the wrath of the megalomaniacal leader. Fearing for her
life, Ursula and Willy decide to emigrate to England. But as the
ship is about to sail, Ursula disappears. Willy crosses the globe
in an effort to find her, even as his uncle taunts him, relishing
in the horror of the murderous cat-and-mouse game.
