Reviewed by Helen
I loved this one so much, I was up very late last night there was no way I could put it down till I got to the amazing end, this is the second book in this series and another brilliant story from Ella Carey, I never miss one of her stories, she has an amazing way with words she brings out emotions that make her characters so easy to connect with, I do hope you pick this one up.
1946 Berlin, Kate Mancini is a journalist and war correspondent and is on a journey through some cities of Europe reporting on the aftermath of war, the only female in this group she is well respected and has ideas for stories she would love to write if only she could. They are in the Russian controlled side of Berlin when she comes across a young girl freezing, Kate’s heart goes out to her and with the help of one of the other journalists, Rick Shearer and they take this child back to their dingy hotel, breaking all of the rules.
Rick Shearer is a well-respected journalist, he is more than happy to help Kate with the little girl, Rick has friends in Germany and they organize to leave the little girl with this family hoping that she will start to talk and let them know what has happened to her family. But this little girl will always be in Kate’s heart.
Back in New York after ten months of travelling Kate is doing everything she can to get a job but being female is making it very hard Rick is there to help and support but with not a lot of luck until she is called on to cover a couple of big issues and slowly Kate starts to make a name for herself even without being given a permanent job, then television starts and Kate is finding her feet there, all the time getting closer to Rick and never forgetting her mute orphan in Germany.
Both Kate and Rick are working hard in this after war New York pulled apart by unnecessary worries, neither forget the little girl when Rick is charged with being a communist and Kate knows that she can never let him go through this alone nor pulls out all stops to help clear his name. She brings her lost orphan Mia Stein to New York.
I love the strength that Kate shows throughout this story never giving up on what she wants to be, she fought hard and won and Rick the caring handsome man who never gave up on Kate and together they forge a future after all they have been through the horrors they have seen in their tour of Europe. This is a beautifully written story with characters that are alive the scenery fabulous and this is one that I do highly recommend.
My thanks to the Author for my copy to read and review.
