Tom Munday, a skilled carpenter, is more than content with his lot in life. He's been blessed with a fine wife and three wonderful children - Ernest, Isabel and Grace. Their childhoods were full of fun and laughter, but coming of the First World War is set to change all that.When Ernest is called to join the army, he must struggle to overcome his Pacifist beliefs. Back at home, Isabel has failed in love but marriage will prove a tough prospect for even her good intentions, and Grace, wilful and headstrong, is determined to make her own way in life despite her mother's wishes.

Maggie Bennett was born in Hampshire. When she left school at eighteen she started general nursing training and, after a year as a staff nurse, she went on to train as a midwife. Her career was interrupted by marriage at thirty-five, and she moved to Manchester where her two daughters were born; she later returned to work as a midwife until her retirement in 1991. Having been an avid reader and scribbler all her life, she took a correspondence course in creative writing after her husband s death in 1983, and started writing articles and short stories. Her first novel, A Child s Voice Calling, was published by Arrow in 2002.
