Book description
On 3rd September 1939, Amy Browning decided to start writing a diary.
It was a momentous day for so many reasons: it was Amy's 18th birthday;
her sister had just given birth to a baby boy; and on the radio it was
announced that Great Britain was now at war with Germany. For a while,
life didn't change very much for Amy. Living with her family in Opal
Street, Liverpool, Amy and her friend both got jobs at a factory, and
spent their free time looking round the shops, or watching the ships
being loaded at the docks. But as the months went by, things began to
change. The bombing started, and Amy's fears grew for her brother,
fighting in France, and her boyfriend Ian, in the RAF... Maureen Lee's
award-winning novels have earned her many fans and appear regularly on
the SUNDAY TIMES Top 10 bestseller list. Maureen was born in Bootle and
now lives in Colchester.
