Description

You can't choose your family. Melody Sachs brings us her gritty and charming World War II saga, for fans of Kitty Neale and Nadine Dorries. We promise you won't be able to put it down!

When ballroom dancer Alice Rooney seduces Jack Wood, he soon finds himself in a volatile marriage. Yet from the moment he meets his baby daughter, he knows he will do anything to make her happy.

But at the start of WWII Jack is drafted by the Air Force, and little Lizzie is left with her mother. Damaged and troubled, Alice grows increasingly unstable and Lizzie finds herself the focus of her mother's frustration and anger.

It's only when Lizzie arrives at Madame Bella's Academy for the Theatrical Arts that she blossoms.

Will she escape her mother's clutches and can her dream of a glittering theatrical future ever come true?



Sassy dancing girls, a shotgun wedding, mother and daughter angst and intense family dramas in WWII Newcastle-Upon-Tyne. This is the first book in a charming new series by Melody Sachs.

Reviews
'Great to discover a kindred spirit! A gritty story indeed and a compelling read. Good to hear that Lizzie, a character I took to my heart, is to appear in Melody's second novel . . .' -- Sheila Newberry, bestselling author of The Gingerbread Girl

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
