A wartime secret . . .
Betsy Drew has one thing on her mind - the hope that Alvis Dooley might someday glance in her direction. In Liverpool at the outbreak of the Second World War, everyone is fearful of what Hitler might do next, but Betsy dreams of a future with Alvis. When he finally notices her, her life changes for ever.
On the fateful night that bombs are dropped on Mill Road Maternity Hospital, Betsy's mother, full of shame that her daughter has given birth unwed, sees an opportunity and tells a devastating lie - that Betsy's baby is gone.
Years later, Betsy is granted a second chance: a love that can conquer all. But it is a love built on a terrible secret and, while her mother and the nuns at the orphanage thought they were doing what was best for Betsy when they gave away her child, their lie could be the very thing that destroys her . . .
Betsy's War is the third book by Eliza Morton in the Liverpool Orphans trilogy, following from The Orphans of Liverpool Lane and The Children Left Behind.
