A sweeping historical saga of love, loss, and resilience in London's East End during WWII.
Queenie Brogan wasn't always an East End matriarch. Before Fergus, she was Philomena Dooley, an Irish Traveler's daughter betrothed to Patrick Mahone. Tragedy and prejudice tore them apart, leaving Queenie to build a new life.
Years later, fate reunites Queenie with Patrick, now a parish priest, rekindling a forbidden love. As WWII rages, Queenie faces losing Patrick forever amidst the bombs and hardship. Can she reveal a fifty-year-old secret without destroying her family? A heartwarming tale of community, secrets, and enduring love against all odds. Perfect for readers of historical fiction and family sagas.
