About This Book
Cathleen had always lived in Jersey, the Channel Islands, where she was born, and witnessed the occupation when the Germans landed in World War Two.
She survived five years of occupation but faced a bleak future with the advent of peace. Cathleen was scorned as a Jerry-bag, a woman who fraternised with the enemy.
Cathleen, faced with what she saw as a horror worse than death and existing as a living shell for her remaining days, save for the love of a German soldier.
With his death, Cathleen finds she is alone and frightened, far more frightened than she was under occupation and so she takes the chance that is offered and starts a new life in England.
Unknown to Cathleen the secret of her past will surface again, even though she dug it deep. Her long ago past is about to burst forth, but can she keep a lid on it? And, if she can, can Cathleen keep the pretence going? What will her family think?
Cathleen has to face her demons, the death of her lover nearly seventy years ago and the wrath of her daughter and Granddaughters.
War is painful…but should that pain last for 70 years?
