"Another first class read" -- ***** Reader review
"Absolutely loved this book. Ruth Hamilton is possibly my favourite author..." -- ***** Reader review
"Another great read, didn't want it to end. [I] always feel bereft when I've finished one of Ruth's books" -- ***** Reader review
"A very good read. I couldn't put this book down and go to bed. Had to read it all in one go" -- ***** Reader review
***********************************************************
ONE WOMAN'S FIGHT FOR FREEDOM AND LOVE...
Born into the First World War, Dorothy has a bleak childhood under the iron fist of an implacable mother and the silent compliance of a browbeaten father.
Her escape is achieved just before the disastrous advent of Hitler, and there is further tragedy to come.
Follow her through childhood and adolescence, then on into her twenties. Can she win her own battle for freedom, for love and for her own place in the world?
