When Wishes Come True: A moving wartime saga of love, motherhood and freedom

Description

Evelyn Wilkinson married Charles Lister-Sinclair just hours before he left for war, unaware that she would never see him again and that she was already carrying his child. When Amelia is born, Charles's parents refuse to accept that she is their grandchild, so, penniless and afraid, Evelyn moves to the backstreets of Liverpool where she dreams of escaping. Meanwhile, as little Milly grows up she discovers that a world of happiness lies on her doorstep.

Joan Jonker was born and bred in Liverpool. She has two sons and two grandsons and now lives in Southport with one of her sons.
