Every street has its secrets. In the spring of 1944, the secrets of Sparrow Street finally came to light.It begins with a knock at Nell Cutler's door — a young woman, well-dressed and nervous, clutching an old photograph in her gloved hands, asking, in a voice that shakes, whether this is the shop of Mrs. Nell Cutler. And Nell, who has faced down every kind of trouble Sparrow Street can throw at her for thirty years, goes white as a sheet — and steps aside, and lets the stranger in.The young woman's name is Margaret. She is twenty-five years old, adopted, and she has come a very long way to ask the question she has been afraid to ask her whole life.What follows is the spring of surfacing secrets — because Nell's confession, once it comes, loosens something in the whole street, and one by one, quietly, the women Grace thought she knew begin to lay down the hidden burdens they have carried, alone and silent, all through the long years of the war. Secrets of shame, of guilt, of grief unmade-up, of fear too private to speak aloud. Everyone, it turns out, is carrying something. Even the strongest ones. Especially the strongest ones.And beyond it all, D-Day is coming — and Tom Bellamy is somewhere in the south of England, and Grace can only wait, and hope, and hold on.Secrets of the Sparrow Street Girls is the sixth book in The Sparrow Street Girls World War Two saga — a deeply emotional story about the hidden weights women carry, the mercy of a secret finally spoken, and the sisterhood deep enough to hold the whole truth of a person, all the way down.A historical saga for fans of Pam Jenoff, Dilly Court, and Kate Quinn — and for anyone who has ever been the strong one who holds everyone else up, while secretly carrying the heaviest weight of all.The strongest people are carrying the heaviest hidden weights. Sparrow Street learned that in the spring of 1944. And loved each other more for it.
