by Rosie Goodwin

A Rags to Riches novel

Nuneaton, 1914

War is just around the corner and for Annie Lilburn and her adopted family, life will never be the same. Annie has never felt like she fits in, but since Levi Lilburn, the local rag-and-bone man, took her under his wing and she became a business woman in her own right, things have been on the up. Soon that is set to change again when World War I is declared and the men of the town enlist.

Annie trains to become a nurse and finds herself on the battlefields in France. Through the devastation of war, love starts to bloom as Annie meets a young officer on a dangerous mission. Could this orphan girl finally be finding her place in the world and someone to truly love her, or is her happiness set to come crashing down once again?

One Woman's War is the second book in a brand-new historical trilogy from Britain's best-loved saga author.
