In the spring of 1912, a group of young women assembled for the start of their nursing careers. Although they came from widely differing backgrounds, they formed deep and abiding friendships which sustained them through the rigorous training, family upheavals, and the trauma of war. They had little time for romance, but found an abundance of love. Love that comforted. Love that strengthened. And love that made their hearts sing. About the Author Linda was born and educated in North London. After her marriage and birth of two daughters, the family settled in Gloucestershire. A twenty-year career in the residential care of the elderly followed. On retirement, Linda was able to devote more time to writing. Heartsong is her sixth novel. When she is not writing or reading, Linda enjoys a variety of handicrafts which she happily shares with anyone who shows the slightest interest.
Autorenporträt
Born in London during the second world war, I was saved from a bomb-damaged house during an air-raid by my quick thinking mother. Possibly from the shracknel scatches, I developed a rare blood disorder which led to me spending parts of my childhood in hospital.. Being restricted to genteel activities allowed me to indulge my passion for literature and develop great skills with handicrafts. ¿ At the age of 16, I met Derek, a handsome young policeman, the intended blind date for my best friend. My friend was unwell on that evening and the relationship between Me and Derek blossomed. We got married a couple of years later and had two daughters. Derek left the police force and we jointly embarked on careers in the care profession. ¿ After seventeen years as a care home manager and with our children grown up, I was able to devote more time to the activities that I enjoyed; this included enrolling on a writers' course which unleashed my literary skill. Having several short stories and articles published inspired me to write my seven published books.
