THE NEW BOOK FROM THE RNA WINNING AUTHOR

Malta, 1942. A sun-drenched jewel in the Mediterranean - now battered to rubble by relentless German bombs. Beneath the ancient stone of Valletta's fortifications, young nurse Faith tends the wounded in the darkness. But Faith has another connection to Malta. Before she left England her parents dropped a bombshell: she was adopted and her birth mother comes from Malta.

Working side by side with a handsome but aloof doctor, Faith finds herself torn between an unexpected attraction and a search for her birth family - and ultimately herself. As bombs fall and supplies vanish, Faith must decide if her namesake can give her the courage to survive . . . and to find out where she belongs.

Faith's War is a gripping tale of endurance, love and impossible choices in the darkest days of war.
