About this audiobook
Brighton, 1930: Maureen O'Connell is a carefree girl, but war is looming and life will never be the same again. Jack and Nelson have always been dear friends to Maureen. Despite their different backgrounds, they've seen each other through thick and thin. The candle Maureen's always held for Jack burns bright, but just as she's found love, war wrenches them apart. With Jack no longer by her side and Nelson at war, can Maureen look to a brighter future?

Sandy Taylor
Sandy Taylor is the author of the Brighton Girls Trilogy and The Runaway Children as well as several other novels. She grew up on a council estate near Brighton. There were no books in the house, so her love of the written word was nurtured in the little local library. Leaving school at fifteen, she worked in a series of factories before landing a job at Butlins Resort in Minehead. This career change led her to becoming a singer, a stand-up comic, and eventually a playwright and novelist.
