Looking at the Moon

With a critical, domineering mother and an ineffectual father, Abbie Winters lacks friends and confidence. When she meets Doreen, a vivacious shop girl, Abbie is introduced to the joys of dancing at the Palace ballroom and it is here she meets Peter Horsfall, a sensitive, kind airman. Abbie's mother, Eva, is determined to prevent these friendships developing and in 1942, Abbie enlists in the Land Army to escape the oppression at home. Here, she blossoms and meets Peter again, by chance. Can they dare to believe that their happiness will survive both Eva Winters' violent disapproval and the horrors of war?Thornton, Margaret is the author of 'Looking at the Moon', published 2002 under ISBN 9780750516730 and ISBN 0750516739.
