A brand new wartime family saga, perfect for fans of Rosie Goodwin and Val Wood

Shaftesbury, 1936.

Mansfield House Hotel has been a refuge for Emily ever since she was orphaned at the age of 16. Not only did they give her employment as a chambermaid, but it's also where she met her fiance Tom.

When theatre agent Roland stays at the hotel and hears Emily singing, he is determined to take her away to Bristol and make her a star. But knowing she'd never leave her fiance, he hatches a plan to get Emily away from Tom.

Six years later, Emily has made a name for herself as 'The Bristol Songbird'. Her love for Tom is still as strong as ever, but she's not heard from him since that fateful night so long ago. And with the world enveloped in a war, it seems unlikely the two will ever meet again.

Will Emily and Tom ever find their way back to one another? Or will the war - and Roland - succeed in keeping them apart?
