The Light Over London

The Light Over London by Julia Kelly

An English antiques dealer discovers a box
filled with a handful of hidden mementos,
never guessing that someone else's treasures
will solve a mystery surrounding her
beloved grandmother.

Cara Hargraves is back home, trying
to pick up the pieces of her broken life.
The first step is working once again for
the fastidious owner of a shop where
people go for help in clearing out
their estates and starting anew.

When Cara finds a faded photograph
of a pensive, young woman, along with
a locket and worn diary from the 1940's,
she sets out on a journey that will lead
her to some astonishing revelations
about the owner of these priceless
memories.

Who wrote such wrenching words of
dreams and disappointments in the
forgotten diary? Cara feels an
inexplicable need to know, and when
an unlikely suitor offers his assistance,
her own life takes an unexpected
turn.

This is a fascinating, historical fiction story
about the brave WWII "gunner girls",
that select group of gritty, smart women who
were so vital to the War effort in Britain
during those relentless years of devastation.
The author effortlessly molds the past with the
present, as she details the unbreakable
bond of friendship these strong ladies shared
in the toughest of times.

An entertaining, amazing tribute
to the unsung heroes that paved the
way for today's women.
