Product Description

Book Description

As war breaks out so too does Molly Dearden… Molly is used to living in the shadow of her older sister, June. When their mother died when she was just seven years old, June helped their grief-stricken father look after Molly in their tiny home in the tight-knit Edge Hill district of Liverpool. Loving and kind, June is also bossy and forthright, in sharp contrast to the shy, sweet Molly. But as her sixteenth birthday passes, Molly doesn't realise how much she is going to have to grow up. As the threat of a second world war grows greater, she must learn to protect herself, her family, and her heart. When hostilities finally break out, Molly finds the courage to leave her factory job and enlist in the Women’s Voluntary Services. There, she can help the war effort and stand on her own two feet for the first time. It's a terrifying, unpredictable time, but also some of the best days of her life, especially when she meets, and falls for, Eddie. Snatched hours when Eddie's on leave from his Navy duties is all they can hope for. But then tragedy strikes and all precious time is cruelly taken away from them. Just when Molly thinks she can take no more, the terrible reality of war hits her home town, with terrifying repercussions. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.


About the Author

Annie Groves lives in the North-West and has done so all of her life. This is her first saga, for which she has drawn upon her own family's history, picked up from listening to her grandmother's stories when she was a child. Her grandmother's great pride in her hometown - Preston - inspired Annie when naming her heroine, who is also a butcher's daughter, just like Annie's grandmother was.

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Goodnight Sweetheart (Paperback)
When Molly is just seven years old her Mother dies, and so her older sister June, does her best to take care of Molly, and their grief stricken Father. Years later as World War Two breaks out, Molly wants to show that she can take care of herself, and so she enlists in the Women's Voluntary Service. Molly passes her first aid test and proudly wears her uniform. She is sent to one of the schools to help with the evacuation of children to the safety of the Welsh country side. Even though this is a terrifying time, Molly feels that she is really helping with the war effort. Things get even better when Molly falls in love with Eddie and they plan their future together. But then tragedy strikes, and Molly will need all the strength she has to be able to go on. This is a wonderful book by Annie Groves, and it makes us realize just how precious life really is.
