SECRETS OF A CHARMED LIFE: In 1940, two young sisters are evacuated to the countryside along with half a million other London children, but they slip back into the city on the day the Luftwaffe begins its historic assault on London, and their lives are forever changed. Seventy years later, an American college student studying abroad is the first to hear of the secrets surrounding the long ago day that two girls boarded—under cover—a train for London. This is a story about sisters, but also about the bond between mother and child, and ultimately the resilience of love. Available at: Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books A Million, Indie Bound, and Powell's.
