In London's East End during the darkest days of the Blitz, Ida Brogan strives to keep her family's spirits high despite nightly bombings and challenging rationing. When her oldest friend, Ellen, returns sick and in need, Ida welcomes her, unaware of the secret Ellen carries—a secret that threatens Ida's marriage and the Brogan family's foundation.
- Will Ida find forgiveness in her heart?
- Can she overcome sadness to embrace a little boy who desperately needs a mother?
Set against the backdrop of WWII, this heartwarming historical novel explores themes of family loyalty, community resilience, and the enduring power of hope in the face of adversity. Perfect for readers seeking a gripping and emotionally resonant story of love and loss in wartime London.

I have to say it was so good to join the Brogan family in A Ration Book Childhood,Ida is out when she she's a face from the past and goes to say hello but what happens is going to shatter ida and her marriage.The Brogans are a family that pull together but can they heal the rift between their parents,as christmas is coming the family club together to put on a family spread.Queenie is still the same but what has happened has rocked her world too and she has sympathy for Ida.I have to say that this is the best book yet of Brogan Family and when you read it have tissues ready as you will need them.worthy of more stars but 5* is all i can give Thank you to Jean Fullerton for a BRILLIANT book.
