When war is declared in 1939 Polly O'Brady is working in a shop in Liverpool.

Author Bio
Katie Flynn has lived for many years in the Northwest. A compulsive writer, she started with short stories and articles and many of her early stories were broadcast on Radio Mersey. She decided to write her Liverpool series after hearing the reminiscences of family members about the life in the city in the early years of the century. She also writes as Judith Saxon. For the past few years she has had to cope with M.E. but has continued to write, albeit more slowly.
