Jenny Rea
Historical truth was essential to my storytelling, but so was capturing the emotional resilience of the era. I immersed myself in research—while also drawing from my parents’ experiences of evacuation during WWII. Their memories gave me insight into the human side of history: fear, hope, adaptation. By weaving their truths into my characters' journeys, I aimed to make the past feel personal, not just historical.
