Publisher Description
Book One of The Katherine Wheel Series catapults Katy and Jem into the global arena of World War One and changes their lives forever.
Cheadle is a sleepy village in rural Wiltshire, England. Nothing much changes and little family dramas provide the only food for scandal and gossip. Then WW1 erupts into the lives of these country people, leaving no-one unscathed.
We meet Katy as a young maidservant, restless for more than domestic service can offer and reckless to a fault. Katy has to develop and mature, as life throws joys and tragedies across her path and the war lures Jem away. Another man tempts her to stay home but in the end she too signs up for the war and in doing so, finds her true self, and discovers that the only thing that really matters is, after all, simply love.

Very well done. It’s hard to write about the intensity of war when facing the enemy. But whose the enemy. Good job of showing compassion for the Germans. Thank you. G
Wonderful!
Wonderful, heartfelt and heartwarming story! Characters real and sympathetic.
The horrors of WWI and sacrifices of time.
Gentry and common man realistically described- real upstairs downstairs cultural differences - privilege vs staff.
