The Glovemaker's Daughter
Unveiling the Cover of my new upcoming Heartbreaking World War Two Tale
Step back in time to Paris, 1943, where the shadow of war looms large over the city of love. In this upcoming historical fiction novel, you will be transported to a time of hardship, bravery, and the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child. I'm thrilled to reveal the captivating cover of an emotionally charged story that I hope will take readers on an unforgettable journey through the darkest days of World War Two.
Paris, 1943. German soldiers drag me out onto the cobbled street and push me towards the waiting truck. I force myself to face forward as tears stream down my cheeks. If I look back, they’ll know. I can’t let them find my little girl…
Raya bends over a delicate glove in her beloved shop under the shadow of the Eiffel Tower. It’s the only place she still feels safe. When the Nazis snatched control of Paris, Raya knew she had to fight to protect the few things she had left. And so far, her support of the resistance has gone undetected.
But now, the door bangs open and three German soldiers lunge towards her. Raya’s blood turns to ice. Hauled onto the street, she struggles against their rough hands as they accuse her of organizing meetings in the tunnels below her shop.
Raya can think only of her baby daughter Amalia, hidden beneath the shop’s front desk. She has a heart-wrenching choice to make. Reveal Amalia’s existence and risk her life, or leave her behind and pray someone protects her. It’s the hardest decision she’s ever faced…
Transported to Ravensbruck concentration camp, every day is a desperate battle for survival. The only thing that keeps Raya going is the thought of being reunited with her blue-eyed, innocent baby girl.
But in the darkest of places, is the power of a mother’s love enough to keep Raya alive until she can see her daughter again?
An unputdownable and totally heartbreaking World War Two page-turner about sacrifice, the powerful and unbreakable love of a mother, and a glimmer of hope amongst the never-ending darkness of war. Fans of The Tattooist of Auschwitz, The Nightingale and The Choice will be gripped.
I'm so excited to share this cover and description for my upcoming Historical Fiction Novel, releasing on September 18, 2023.
