A New Path to Follow

Four siblings, one war, countless challenges… can they emerge unscathed? The silver wedding celebrations of Sir George Barsham, MP, and his wife, Lady Adelaide, are overshadowed by the declaration of war with Germany. Over the following months, the Barsham family’s comfortable way of life is thrown into upheaval.

Gina Barsham, the beauty of the family, swaps her glamorous lifestyle filled with fine clothes and diamonds for one of charity. She finds fulfilment and a sense of purpose in helping local wives and children left destitute, their husbands and fathers away fighting. Determined to do his bit for King and country, her brother James enlists as an officer and heads for Flanders. Meanwhile, his twin, Ned, faces condemnation as a conscientious objector. To Lady Adelaide’s dismay, her youngest daughter Millie learns to drive an ambulance, a most unladylike skill.

During the course of the war, the four Barsham siblings will be tested as never before. Will they lose themselves to hardship, heartache, and danger, or will they persevere, finding unexpected love along the way?

A heartwarming saga of love and friendship perfect for fans of Lizzie Page and Sheila Riley.
