While WW2 rages, Elsie must battle for her familyElsie Weir is
trying hard to keep her family together. Living in Kiltie Street
tenement in Glasgow with her mother and little sister, Jessie,
isn't easy - not least because her mother spends most days in a
drunken stupor. But life gets harder still when their mother dies
suddenly, leaving Jessie and Elsie broken-hearted. When Elsie's
meagre wages won't stretch to supporting them, they're thrown out
of their home. The future looks bleak, until their mother's
estranged family deigns to take them in. But their relief is
short-lived as it becomes clear the Mearns family have taken in the
orphan sisters only for appearances, treating them cruelly behind
closed doors. When Elsie discovers the devastating secret her
mother kept from them, it seems that they may have a lifeline -
until that dream too, is cruelly dashed. Now, more than ever, the
sisters only have each other. But can Elsie and Jessie find some
hope in a life full of heartbreak? A heartwarming and compelling
family saga that fans of Rosie Hendry and Annie Murray will love.
Praise for Carol MacLean: 'A lovely, lovely story set in WW2. It
gripped me from page one... I'd highly recommend it!' Reader Review

you will love this.' Reader Review 'A great WWII-era historical
fiction saga... I truly enjoyed this one... Through this story of
love, loss, uncertainty, and finding one's place in life we also
get a glimpse of history as well... Beautifully written.' Reader
