The Second World War - a mother must make a heart-breaking
sacrifice in order to save her child... 'Maureen Lee weaves
intrigue, love and warmth into every page' MY WEEKLY 'A fine
writer' EVENING TELEGRAPH 1944. It is spring, late morning, when
Flora's life changes for ever. She is standing on a platform in the
Swiss mountains, watching as a cattle train draws near. From within
the wooden trucks she can hear human voices - groaning, pleading
and desperate. Horrified, she begins to run alongside the train,
frantically trying to help. But as the train picks up speed, a
filthy bundle of rags is thrust through the slats and into her arms
- 'Take him. His name is Simon.' Flora stands on the platform, a
baby boy cradled against her. And although everything looks exactly
as it did moments before, nothing will ever be the same again.
Sunday Times bestseller Maureen Lee has written a powerful, moving
story of war, motherhood and love.
