By Teresa Peck

Meet Kitty Donovan. heroine of the "Fire and Journey" Series.

Bright and vivacious, Kitty Donovan has always longed to break free from her domineering mother. Growing up in the slums south of London, she uses her wits to help her family survive the hardships of the Great War, convinced she will have a bright future. However, when peace returns, she finds limited ways to achieve some independence. After a few disastrous, and at times hilarious, attempts to find a job, she begins training as a nurse. But her striking looks and a gift inherited from her Irish grandmother - she is a "horse charmer" - attract the romantic attention of two very different men. One is an ambitious soldier who offers her stability and a way out of her mother's grasp. The other is a boy she's always adored - wild. passionate and uncertain of his future. Kitty knows she must choose her destiny. But will Fate, or her mother, make the decision for her? And what will be the consequences?

A sweeping tale of love, resilience and self-discovery, Kitty Donovan brings to life the gritty streets of early 20th century Woolwich - a town caught between military order and the untamed green spaces of the Common, where anything can happen.
