About the author

Librarian Note: There is more than one author by this name in the Goodreads database.

Katie Flynn was born in Norwich and attended Norwich High School, where she was extremely happy and extremely undistinguished. Published at the tender age of eight, in Enid Blyton's Sunny Stories, she joined a Writers’ Circle as an adult, publishing short stories, articles, etc; only turning to novels in 1971 because the postal strike cut off her main source of income!
At first she wrote under several different names – Judith Saxton, Judy Turner, Lydia Balmain, Judith Arden – but her Katie Flynn books were a delight to write and proved far more popular than she had dreamed. She has now published nearly ninety novels, twenty-seven of which are Flynns. Her most recent titles are: Lost Days of Summer and Christmas Wishes.

This was refreshing. All about the daughter's life. set in hard times during ww2, based in Liverpool. It sets a real capsule in time. With the accent. The way communities stuck together, looked after each other in hard times. The daughter is orphaned at 15yrs and it's all about her development into a young adult alongside the threat within a scary world. Nothing too shocking, just the right balance of characters that help shape her and her fierce determination in a world where women are stepping up to fight in war, communities and society.

Mixed feelings about this book . Although on the whole I enjoyed it ,it was very similar to the other 2 Katie flynn books I've read .
I don't know if its a running theme with her books as in orphaned child ,bit or romance ,the jealous trouble maker and joining the forces ?
Pleasant enough read but not very exciting .
