about the author

Proud to be Lancashire born and mother to three grown boys, Verity Slaughter-Penney spent 27 years of her working life as a teacher and headteacher. It is this experience and her own passion for literature which gave her a love of storytelling.Suffering a mental breakdown in 2017, Verity was forced to stop working.In her own words “The long working hours stopped and suddenly my creative brain had room to think.”Verity began using writing and painting as her therapy and gradually recovered from her illness.Now working for older youngsters with the charity Transitions UK, she keeps two days a week free in order to continue with her writing adventures.  

about the book

The world teeters on the brink of World War One.Three very different young men are growing through their late teenage years blissfully unaware of what lies ahead.Finn Marshall, George Barney and Emilio Rothbauer may be growing up worlds apart, still they remain destined to be drawn together.Amid a world torn apart by a brutal war, on the battlefield life-changing choices must be made.When the stakes are high and young lives are at risk, will death be the ultimate price paid or will the powerful drive for love and peace win through?Three loving families will keep the home fires burning – but who will make it home?
