Thank you for choosing my book. I hope those who read it, enjoy it.
I thoroughly enjoyed writing it.
I've always collected diaries and reading about the nurses who served in WWI, I thought it would be interesting to have a modern woman finding a diary written by an Australian nurse serving in WWI.
Lexi learns a lot from the diary.
And I learned a lot by researching nurses in WWI and what they had to endure. They were such heroines!
Happy reading!

Everyone thinks Lexi is crazy when she falls in love with Hollingsworth House – a crumbling old Georgian mansion in Yorkshire – and nobody more so than her husband, Dylan. But there’s something very special about the place, and Lexi can sense it.
Whilst exploring the grounds she stumbles across an old diary and, within its pages, she meets Allie – an Australian nurse working in France during the First World War.
Lexi finally realises her dream of buying Hollingsworth but her obsession with the house leaves her marriage in tatters. In the lonely nights that follow, Allie’s diary becomes Lexi’s companion, comforting her in moments of darkness and pain. And as Lexi reads, the nurse’s scandalous connection to the house is revealed …
