An emotional WWII historical novel, based on real events A forbidden romance in occupied Norway…

Narvik, 1940.

After Laila awakens to the sight of warships in the fjord, it isn't long before she turns resistor to the brutal Nazi regime. She is horrified when local girls begin affairs with enemy soldiers, yet against her own principles, she finds herself falling in love with German soldier, Josef.

Josef is not like the others. He becomes involved in helping her and the locals with resistance activities, risking his life on more than one occasion.

But then Laila finds out she is pregnant. With Josef sent to the Russian front, and Laila cast out by her family, she turns to a home for women which promises to care for her and her unborn child. But instead, she finds herself caught in a system of evil far beyond what she thought possible…

A Mother's War is a powerful tale of the bond between mother and child, and fighting against the odds. Fans of Suzanne Goldring, Mandy Robotham and Debbie Rix will devour this unforgettable novel.
