War rages, but the women and children of Liverpool's Dr Barnado's Home cannot give up hope. An Orphan's War is a gripping saga about love and loss on the Home Front.

Liverpool, 1942.

Maxine is haunted by the ghosts of a shameful past. She is unable to get close to her fellow staff at the Dr Barnado's Orphanage where she works as a nurse, for fear they might uncover her secret. So Maxine finds a friend in an unexpected place: Peter, a six-year-old orphan with a secret of his own. Meanwhile, during Maxine's visits to her family home, she encounters two men from her past, with very different outcomes. Crofton is a naval officer now, and their attraction is instant – but how can Rose be with him if she can never be honest? And then there's the father of her child, who rejected her when she was pregnant. Can Maxine ever come clean about her past?

Industry Reviews

PRAISE FOR MOLLY GREEN

'Molly Green creates realistic characters and situations that keep you turning the pages.' Katie Fforde

'A moving, gripping story set during WW2, of a woman's dedication to the orphans in her care and her heart wrenching love.' Kitty Neale

'Redolent of wartime Britain and brimming with heartfelt stories from several characters, Molly Green's sure-footed novel shows just how challenging it was to find love and a place to call home in the dark days of the war.' Terri Fleming

'A lovely, heartfelt, warming slice of saga fiction ... There is a gentleness to the writing as it walks some difficult paths, ensuring AN ORPHAN'S WAR is an engaging, generous read.' Liz Robinson, LoveReading

'A gripping read' My Weekly

'Memorable characters, a well written, plausible plot and very good descriptions of the time and place. The scenes and details of Dr Barnardo's are especially interesting as the plight of orphans is rarely considered when we think of World War Two ... We often forget the ordinary people surviving day-to-day 'back home'.' Discovering Diamonds Blog
