Red Is for Rubies
After a lifetime apart, a twist of fate brings two old flames together—asking the eternal question: Once love is lost, can it be found again? Jonty and Lydie were each other’s first love, and nothing else mattered but that. So when Jonty promised to buy Lydie a precious ruby necklace when his art career took off, she believed him with all her heart. But the ruby never materialized—and Jonty left Lydie pregnant and heartbroken. Nearly thirty years later, Lydie is stuck in a marriage she never wanted to a man she never really loved, and desperate for a way out. Then, a tragic set of circumstances brings Jonty back into the picture, and Lydie must decide exactly what she wants from her life—and if she can ever let Jonty back into it.
To Turn Full Circle
A romantic saga of pre–World War I England, from an author with “a gift for making you feel right there, in the story, with her lovely warm characters” (Sophie King, author of The Girl with the Ruby Ring). Life in Devon in 1909 is hard and unforgiving, especially for young Emma Le Goff, who finds herself totally alone in the world after she is orphaned and evicted from her home by her callous landlord. The landlord’s son, Seth, is deeply attracted to Emma and sympathizes with her—but all his attempts to help only incur his father’s wrath. When a mysterious fisherman comes to Emma’s rescue, Seth is jealous and seeks solace in another woman, but finds that forgetting Emma is not as easy as he hoped. And Emma is pulled between two men who each want to lay claim to her heart . . . “Vivid and page turning with a captivating young heroine.” —Margaret Kaine, author of Ribbon of Moonlight

But Devon holds more than sweet memories. As Emma works to reclaim her home, an unwelcome visitor threatens to reveal a secret that could turn her new life upside down.

Evacuees
On the outbreak of the Second World War, during the first week of September 1939 over three million people were evacuated. Operation Pied Piper was the largest ever transportation of people across Britain, and most of those moved to safety in the countryside were schoolchildren. ??Social historian Gillian Mawson has spent years collecting the stories of former evacuees and this book includes the personal memories of over 100, in their own words. Their accounts reveal what it was like to settle into a new home with strangers, often staying for years. While many enjoyed life in the countryside, some escaping inner-city poverty, others endured ill-treatment and homesickness.??A fascinating insight into the realities of wartime life, and a valuable oral history of a unique moment in British history.
