Condition: Good

Golden-haired; sunny-natured Amy is the apple of her mother's eye; youngest and dearest of Annie Flanagan's lively brood of thirteen. With the outbreak of World War II the Flanagan family is sundered; shaken from their crowded nest in London's East End. Joe is soon made a sergeant; fighting in France. Billy volunteers for the Army Transport; young Dan fulfils his dreams and joins the RAF. The young ones are evacuated from the war-torn capital - the girls to Devon and the boys to a school in the Midlands they reckon is worse than Colditz! The war brings tragedy - even the old home is in ruins; bombed and shell-splintered. It's Amy; with her fierce courage and determination; who pulls the family back together. Then handsome Sparky; full of wicked charm and Cockney banter; walks into her life and wins her heart. Turbulent happy years follow; times of great joy for Amy and times of bitter heart-rending when family ties war against the needs of her feckless darling husband . . . --> Genre: Sagas London
