From the best-selling author of ‘None Stood Taller’, short-listed for the self-published book of the year 2022.
This is the story of two ordinary people, Emma and Roger, who lived through extraordinary times and confronted unimaginable hardship.
An inspirational story that will transport you back to 1939 and the outbreak of war.
Amidst the chaos and destruction of the Blitz, Emma, a doctor at St. Thomas's Hospital in London, is determined to keep its doors open and help those in need. But as the bombs fall, she is forced to confront the harsh realities of war and the devastating toll it inflicts on her and her colleagues.While Emma fights to save lives and keep the hospital open, fate deals an unimaginable blow to Roger, a police detective whose life is forever changed by the Balham Tube Station disaster. Despite his own personal tragedy, he nevertheless pledges to bring an elusive serial killer to justice. Inspired by a true story, Roger's pursuit of the murderer will hold you in suspense until its final dramatic conclusion.
Their story is all the more compelling because the principal events occurred precisely as described. Before the bombing, the nurses' home at St Thomas’s Hospital, London, occupied the space depicted on the front cover of this book. The emptiness of that space reaches out across the ages. Emma and Roger don’t consider themselves heroes; they want nothing more than to find love and happiness. But together, they represent the triumph of the human spirit; they are two of the greatest generation.
