England, 1940. Can Maggie keep her family—and her secret—safe?

An emotional and heartbreaking wartime novel for fans of Diney Costeloe, Dilly Court, and Mandy Robotham.

When Maggie's new job takes her from bombed-out London to grand Snowden Hall in the Cotswolds, she's apprehensive but determined to do her bit for the war effort. She's also keeping a secret, one she knows would turn opinion against her. Her mother is German: Maggie is related to the enemy.

Then her evacuee sister sends her a worrying letter, missing the code they agreed Violet would use to confirm everything was well, and Maggie's heart sinks. Violet is miles away; how can she get to her in the middle of a war? Worse, her mother, arrested for her nationality, is now missing, and Maggie has no idea where she is.

As a secret project at Snowden Hall risks revealing Maggie's German side, she becomes even more determined to protect her family. Can she find a way to get to her sister? And will she ever find out where her mother has been taken?
