THE WARTIME MOTHER
Winnie is heartbroken after her husband left to fight for their country and died. Winnie is left to tend to the family pub all by herself. She can’t help but wonder how she can continue on.
Winnie hears about Francine, a young girl that has lost her mother and siblings. She is only ten years old and is in need of a home. She can’t survive on her own. Winnie decides to take her in and become Francine’s family.
Winnie is about ready to give up on the pub. She doesn’t have the money to keep it going. Francine offers lots of great ideas to Winnie of how to keep the pub open. Francine is giving Winnie a purpose in life. But things change when Francine’s relatives arrive to claim her. Winnie can’t take more loss in her life.
The Wartime Mother, written by author Lizzie Page, is a beautifully written story of love, loss and hope. Winnie was a lovely character that I felt a great connection too. From the loss of her husband to her taking in Francine, she had a wonderful heart. My heart broke for her.
Francine was an amazing person and she showed so much bravery during such a horrible time. I was reaching for the Kleenex many times during this book. This heartwarming story had me flying through the pages. My heart broke over and over but I could not stop reading until I got to the very end. I highly recommend this phenomenal book.
