Black Rose and African Violets is a true story portrayed through the eyes of a child growing up in post-war Britain. Over the years, Anna discovers the ordeals her mother suffered during the horrors of World War Two: her capture and imprisonment in two of the Nazis' most notorious concentration camps, her escape and recapture, and her subsequent internment in the Soviet Gulag. Rescued by General Anders' Army, Anna's mother travels through Siberia and Iran before reaching Africa and, eventually, England, where she served out the war under British command. Having lost her family, her identity and her country, with no hope of returning, this is a story of trauma, sadness, hope and resilience. Memories can be lost, misunderstood and fade over time. Those with direct recollections of the painful events of the Second World War are no longer with us. It is, therefore, all the more important that such memories are preserved if we are to learn the hard lessons from the past.

Being left at the altar broke his heart, but being used for sex one night in London after the fact nearly drove him to the edge of sanity, and he'll be damned if he allows Anjuli to wreak havoc on his life again. He'll restore her manor, all right, and give her a taste of her own medicine while he's at ...
