Book three in the heartwarming wartime saga in the Home Fires series, perfect for fans of Rosie Clarke and Annie Groves.

In the midst of World War II, the members of one village WI fight harder than ever to help the war effort.

But behind closed doors, each is fighting a more personal battle.

Pat Simms is reeling from her own role in her abusive husband's death, and the new freedom before her is daunting. Sarah Collingborne is struggling with the absence of her husband, who is stranded in a POW camp abroad, and trying her best to fill his treasured place in the village.

JUST WHAT MY HEART NEEDED

I have been a long time fan of the TV series Home Fires on PBS. and when the series abruptly ended on a cliffhanger in 2015 I was completely heartbroken. I recently rewatched the series and long to know what happened to these beloved characters I was so happy when I found a woman's Courage by Simon block I finished it within 7 days. if you were or are a fan of the series home fire you will definitely enjoy this book and how all the characters come back to life highly recommend.

Home Fires is my happy place

Home Fires has been my happy place since 2015 when I watched the first season of the show. Since then other series was canceled after Season 2, I have anxiously awaited each book to see what will happen my favorite characters. I was apprehensive to listen to the third book on Audible, but I am so glad I did!! Fenella Woolgar not only reads the story so well, but she has clearly watched Home Fires and studied each actress as they portray their characters because she sounds like each one of them when reading their part!! I loved that she did this! My big question now is will there be more? We are only into 1941 of a 5 year war and we know that some of these characters have plans that may not be realistic in 1941 England. I am so hoping this series continues through the war!!

Just like the show but…

This book is just like the show but not in a good way. It wanted to return it after the first 2 chapters but wasn’t able to.
