France, 1943
As war casts its shadow over Europe, the tranquil life of Sister Angelica's convent is disrupted by the arrival of Nazi forces. Inside the convent, the nuns offer refuge to children in need of care and protection. Despite the ever-present risks, Angelica is determined to honour her promise to keep them safe. Each day is a testament to courage and hope, even when unexpected challenges arise.
London, 1963
Angelica has made a new life for herself in East London's Stepney. Despite the shadows of war, she is nurturing a family of her own with hope and resilience, ready to embrace the future with open arms. Yet, as life often reminds us, the past has a way of weaving itself back into our present when we least expect it . . .

Born the thirteenth child of fifteen to a middle-class mother and an East End barrow boy, Mary Wood's childhood was a mixture of love and poverty. Throughout her life, Mary has held various posts in office roles, working in the probation services, and brought up her four children and numerous grandchildren, step-grandchildren and great-grandchildren. An avid reader, she first put pen to paper in 1989 while nursing her mother through her final months, but didn't become successful until she began self-publishing her writing in 2011. Her novels include All I Have to Give, An Unbreakable Bond, In Their Mother's Footsteps and the bestselling Orphanage Girls series.
