Moonlight and Ashes

by Rosie Goodwin

Maggie Bright feels she's blessed with her eight-year-old twins, Danny and Lizzie, and baby Lucy, but when World War two is declared Maggie knows that her blessings may be about to run out. Although the war means that Maggie can escape her abusive husband when he's sent to the front line, the twins are evacuated to Wales and separated for the first time in their young lives. As Maggie and Lucy struggle to survive the German bombings, the twins face danger of a different kind. It feels as though only a miralce will bring Maggie's family back together.
