About this audiobook
From Rita Bradshaw, the author of A Woman of Courage, comes a story, set during the second world war, of overcoming betrayal and learning to love once more in Saffron Skies and New Beginnings.
Bella McFadyen has a privileged lifestyle but from a child she isn't afraid to kick against an upper-class society that is restricting and narrow-minded, especially where the female sex is concerned.
When a terrible family secret is revealed, tragedy follows. Bella loses everything and everyone she's ever known, including the man she loves. But there are more important things at stake than personal happiness - war is declared and Bella enlists in the WAAFs, eventually being posted abroad on top secret work.
In the years that follow, Bella's strength of mind is tested to the limit and her journey is one of heartache and devastating pain. Will she ever find peace and happiness and be able to trust herself enough to embrace another chance of love when it comes her way?
