In the darkness of war, light shines from the pages of a book
For as long as Alice Carmichael can remember, the only thing shes been able to count on is the written word. The war may have taken everything from her, but the stories she cherishes provide solace and escape into a world that is more hopeful than 1942 England.
So when Alice finds herself at the mercy and kindness of strangers, miles from everything shes ever known, its little surprise that books become her purpose.
Now, Alice must channel the courage of her favourite heroines to risk everything for her country. Because its only in writing her own story that Alice can seize the destiny her beloved books have taught her she deserves
