Secrets of a Charmed LIfe

Kendra Van Zant is an American student just finishing up four months of studying in England, it's the end of the term and she is interviewing a survivor of the Blitz during WWII, for her final writing project. Everyone was surprised when Isabel agreed to be interviewed by Kendra, but no one was more intrigued than Kendra when Isabel begins her story that reveals decades of secrets.

Isabel's story begins with two sisters who live with their single mother at a time when single mothers were not really accepted in society.  It was also at the beginning of England's involvement in WWII and many had not yet felt the affects of war, until children were shipped off to the country where they would be safe from Germany's bombs.

This was a touching story of two sisters who were tragically separated during the blitz and their story of trying to find each other and how their loss haunted them even into their adult years. I did enjoy reading this book. Towards the end, there is a section made up of letters and I found myself skipping through them just to get to the end, otherwise a very good book.
