Kate Channer is settled in London helping half-sister, Naomi, as her housekeeper while the Great War rages on. When Naomi's brother, Ned, is sent home seriously injured it's up to Kate to manage the household as well as Ned's rehabilitation.

But with the growing workload, Kate struggles to keep everything running smoothly and yearns to return to Woodicombe House. And with no word from her husband, Luke, fighting in France, it's becoming increasingly difficult to stay positive.

Hard times are ahead for Kate and her family when the realities of war land on their doorstep, can Kate find the strength to keep going?

The final book in the Woodicombe House Saga trilogy, this story is perfect for fans of Linda Finlay and Rosie Goodwin.

Inspired by the Malory Towers and St. Clare's novels of Enid Blyton, Rosie spent much of her childhood either with her nose in a book or writing stories and plays, enlisting the neighbours' children to perform them to anyone who would watch.

Professional life, though, was to take her into a world of structure and rules, where creativity was frowned upon. It wasn't until she was finally able to leave rigid thinking behind that she returned to writing, her research into her ancestry and a growing fascination for rural life in the nineteenth century inspiring and shaping her early stories.

She now resides with her husband in North Devon – the setting for the Woodicombe House Saga – where she enjoys the area's natural history, exploring the dramatic scenery, and keeping busy on her allotment.
