O tej e-knjigi

Set during WW2, Saffron Skies and New Beginnings is a story of overcoming betrayal and learning to love once more. From Rita Bradshaw, author of A Woman of Courage.

Bella McFadyen has led a privileged life but, from a young age, she has not been afraid to kick against the restrictive, narrow-minded upper-class society. Particularly where the female sex is concerned.

When a terrible family secret is revealed, tragedy follows. Bella loses everything and everyone she has 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 WAAF. Eventually, she is 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 will she be able to trust herself enough to embrace another chance at love?
