About this ebook
A story perfect for the fireside, Amy's Wartime Christmas is a compelling read, exclusive to eBook from Pam Weaver, author of Love Walked Right In.
When Amy Hobbs steps off the train in Worthing, 1943, she's determined to make a difference to the seaside town. The only policewoman at the local station, she's going to have to do her very best amongst old-fashioned superiors who think a woman's work should be making the tea, not arrests.
After enduring four hard years of war on the homefront, Christmas can't come soon enough for the townsfolk. While families save up what little they have for the festive season, Amy begins to suspect there is a secret ring of black marketeers in Worthing and is determined to uncover them, even if it means putting herself in danger.
Meanwhile, a local woman fears she is being stalked - a man is watching and waiting by her house at night. Who is he, what does he want, and can Amy Hobs step in just in time?
It won't be easy to pull together the Christmas everyone deserves, but Amy isn't one to give up without a fight...

Good short read, but a little predictable at times.
About the author
Pam's saga novels, There's Always Tomorrow, Better Days Will Come, Pack Up Your Troubles and For Better For Worse, are set in Worthing during the austerity years. Pam's inspiration comes from her love of people and their stories and her passion for the town of Worthing. With the sea on one side and the Downs on the other, Worthing has a scattering of small villages within its urban sprawl, and in some cases tight-knit communities, making it an ideal setting for the modern saga.
