After tragedy, a young mother finds happiness again... before a bitter enemy threatens to destroy everything. Anne Baker's unforgettable saga, Keep the Home Fires Burning, is a tale of tragedy, courage and devastating jealousy. Perfect for fans of Dilly Court and Lyn Andrews. 'With characters who are strong, warm and sincere, this novel is a joy to read' - Coventry Evening Telegraph Lovely young Cathy is left pregnant with her first child when her husband is killed in the war. For a while she lives with her in-laws, but she leaps at the chance to return as a maid to the household where she worked before her marriage. With the birth of her daughter she is compelled to return to her parents-in-law, a less than ideal situation, particularly when in due course Cathy is being courted by a dear old friend. When Cathy marries again and sets up in the antiques business with her husband, it looks like at last she will find the happiness she deserves, but she has made an enemy who can't bear to see Cathy enjoying her life... What readers are saying about Keep the Home Fires Burning: 'Very good - five stars'

A pocketful of silver
Same author's clean Merseyside saga of buried family secrets and hard-won love, but centred on a girl's coming of age rather than a widow's remarriage.
Moonlight on the Mersey
Another gentle Liverpool saga where a painful past threatens present happiness; more mystery and found-family, less courtship and wartime widowhood.
No hay verano sin ti
Grief, a childhood friend turned suitor and a second chance at love, but teenage summers instead of a wartime widow's hard graft.
Slow Dance
Friends-to-lovers second chance with a single parent and years of longing; contemporary, slower burn and a bit steamier.
The thirteenth child
Another chaste working-class saga where a hardworking girl's friendship with a shop heir turns tender; here the threat is a jealous twin rather than war widowhood.
All You Need is Love
Also a single mother rebuilding her life and choosing between two men, but modern-day, lighter and comic instead of wartime tragedy.
