The Carpenter's Children

Ernest, Isabel and Grace Munday were blessed with childhoods full of fun and laughter, but the coming of the First World War will change their lives forever… Tom Munday, a skilled carpenter, is more than content with his lot in life: he’s been blessed with a fine wife and three wonderful children. But when war breaks out, his firstborn, Ernest, is called upon to join the army. Tom’s eighteen-year-old daughter Isabel finds the path of true love does not run smoothly in London’s poor East End. And the youngest, fifteen-year-old Grace, wilful and headstrong, finds herself drawn down a path she never wished to embark on, and the consequences are far worse than she could ever have imagined.
