When Christmas Bells Ring

The new Christmas bestseller from Katie Flynn; the UK's bestselling saga author

Liverpool 1938

It’s Christmas in the Courts, and single mother Rosheen Clarke and her mischievous twin daughters April and May have no idea of the cataclysmic events which will soon overtake them.

When war is declared, April and May are evacuated to the countryside and Rosheen joins the WAAF where she befriends fellow Liverpudlian Cassie Valentine.

While Rosheen worries about what trouble the twins will cause next, Cassie is fighting her love for her childhood friend Andy. Because ever since he joined the RAF, he has become arrogant and remote.

Will he change back to the old Andy when it’s all over? Or will their love be another casualty of war?

Cassie and Rosheen support each other as best they can, but it will be many years before the Christmas bells ring out again.
