About The Book:

First in the compelling new Liberty Girls series, sure to be loved by fans of Elaine Everest, Nancy Revell, Donna Douglas and Mr Selfridge.

 

Set around the iconic Carnaby Street department store at the height of the Blitz in London, this heart-warming story of friendship and courage at Christmas is the perfect holiday read.

London, September 1941.

Mary arrives in war-torn London nursing a broken heart and a painful secret after being dishonorably discharged from the Army. When she is offered her dream post as an assistant in the fabric department at Liberty store, she knows this is the fresh start she needs. Amid the store’s vibrant prints and sumptuous interiors, Mary finds a new family who help her to heal and put the ghosts of the past to rest. 

But not everyone will give Mary such a warm welcome, and the trauma of her past will soon catch up with her. As Mary and the Liberty Girls endure the heartache, uncertainty and danger of war, it will take a steady heart and unwavering courage to keep the magic of Christmas alive.
