The Secret Orphan

As the Nazis’ relentless bombs fall during the Blitz of Coventry in 1940, six-year-old Rose Sherbourne is left orphaned and alone. She is placed under the guardianship of Elenor Cardew, a spirited Cornish farmer’s daughter who has escaped her own difficult family life. Elenor knows that the only way to protect Rose is to flee the city and build a new life for them both in the safety of the countryside. However, Elenor soon discovers that the firestorm of war is not the only threat they face; Rose carries a devastating secret that puts her life in imminent danger. To safeguard the child and the truth, Elenor must turn to the only person she can trust: a heroic Canadian pilot named Jackson St John. Amidst the heartbreak and destruction of World War II, an unexpected romance blossoms as Elenor and Jackson fight to protect the little girl who has brought them together.
