Description
Peace Lily is the sequel to Daffodils and book two of the Katherine Wheel saga. After the appalling losses suffered during WWI, three of its survivors long for peace, unaware that its aftermath will bring different, but still daunting, challenges.
Katy trained as a mechanic during the war and cannot bear to return to the life of drudgery she left behind. A trip to America provides the dream ticket she has always craved, and an opportunity to escape the straitjacket of her working-class roots. She jumps at the chance, little realizing that it will change her life forever, but not in the way she’d hoped.
Jem lost not only an arm in the war, but also his livelihood and self-esteem. How can he keep restless Katy at home and provide for his wife? He puts his life at risk a second time, attempting to secure their future and prove his love for her.
Cassandra has fallen deeply in love with Douglas Flintock, an American officer she met while driving ambulances at the Front. How can she persuade this modern American to adapt to her English country life and all the duties that come with inheriting Cheadle Manor?
When Douglas returns to Boston unsure of his feelings, Cassandra crosses the ocean, determined to lure him back. As they each try to carve out new lives, their struggles impact each other in unforeseen ways in this heartbreaking romance.
Peace Lily challenges the boundaries between traditional values and the modern age, between men and women, young and old. In post-war 1919, these are tested like never before.
A third book, Speedwell, takes the characters into the daring arena of motor racing in the 1920s and Katy's defiant bid for independence.
There are three further books. Willow (a short story written from a child's perspective), acts as a bridge into the two final books: Woodbine and Ivy, when the second generation of Phipps and Flintock-Smythes play their parts in WWII and bring the whole series to a dramatic and satisfying conclusion.
