A New Day by Beryl Matthews
After a traumatic past, life finally seems to be looking up for Hanna Foster. But war is on its way . . .London, 1938. Hanna and Jack Foster had been sent to an orphanage when their parents were killed in a train crash, but were separated when a couple adopted Jack. Bullied and treated like a slave, it soon became clear it was a dreadful mistake. In desperation, Jack takes his future into his own hands and runs away to join the merchant navy, while Hanna takes a job looking after two children. For a time, life seems good, but war is looming and threatens to take away everything Hanna holds dear . . .Beryl Matthews is a British actress who was born in London and now lives in Hampshire. She was raised in a household of voracious readers, and books have always played an significant role in her life. Her dream as a child was to be a professional singer, but a lack of cash forced her to work at an office, where she rose through the ranks from tea girl to credit controller. Writing, reading, swimming, and golf are some of her favorite pastimes.
