The Map Maker's Promise

One night, everything changed. . . It is yet another night of air raids, and instead of heading to the basement of her London workplace - risking being in the same vicinity as him, the man who hurt her in the worst way possible - nineteen-year-old Clare runs to the first place she can think of. . . . . .and makes a decision that will haunt her for the rest of her life. Over a year later, and Clare is heartbroken to be saying goodbye to her newborn Mirren. Leaving her in the care of her sister, in the remotest - and therefore safest - village in Scotland, she heads back south to take up the position of mapmaker in the Air Ministry department. The work is tough, and Clare struggles with the fact she has a direct hand in hurting the enemy - hurting people. Combined with the guilt for leaving her sweet angel behind, the dark thoughts could destroy her. . . or make her stronger than ever.
