An unbreakable spirit, this is not the end for Lily, it is merely the beginning.<strong> Defying the expectations of her background and social class, she embarks upon an incredible journey that will take her from the ashes of the Blitz to the very top of the British wartime establishment.</strong></p><p>This is Lily's inspirational story, her life in wartime London, the lifelong friends she makes in the Women's Land Army, and the two men that she is torn between. Heartbreaking one moment, and heartwarming the next, from the very first page right through to the wonderfully unexpected conclusion, you will be unable to put this book down.</p><p><br></p><p>Lily's life changes dramatically when she is employed by <strong>Edward the Earl of Middlebourne</strong>. Initially employed to manage His Lordship's stately home and estate, she is unaware of his connection to military intelligence. Lily is invited to partner Edward in the formation of a new section of the <strong>Special Operations Executive.</strong> Their role is to provide the crucial intelligence which will enable the D-Day landings. Don't just read about wartime Britain; experience it first hand!</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><br></p><p>Mama B</p><p><em>5.0 out of 5 stars</em></p><p><strong> No words!</strong></p><p>Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2021</p><p>Oh my goodness!

How he used the facts of history to weave a tale of how they were able to drop social protocol to become a team working to win the war. I loved the ending.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>susan shrimpton</p><p><em>5.0 out of 5 stars</em></p><p><strong> None stood taller</strong></p><p>Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 18, 2021</p><p>I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book it was completely different to the books I normally read</p><p>I was hooked from the first page, starting with the bombing of London in the blitz and the mother and two children dying</p><p>Lily's journey from that horrific day to her employment and work with the ministry during the war, and the numerous friends and staff she dealt with during that time.</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Avid reader</p><p><em>5.0 out of 5 stars</em></p><p><strong>Wonderful enjoyable read</strong></p><p>Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 20, 2021</p><p>I love reading novels around the wonderful work the SOE did during the war and this, for me, was a truly inspirational read. I often see reviews by people who say they couldn't put the book down, and that was what I felt about this one. I thoroughly enjoyed it and didn't want it to end. I notice there is to be one about Lily and I really would like to read that as the love triangle seemed to fizzle out in the final chapter and it was only the reunion chapter where it became clear who she eventually married. Great book; only sorry it's finished.</p><p><br></p><br>
