Poppy Day

What would you sacrifice to bring home the one you love?
Ever since hairdresser Poppy Day married her childhood sweetheart, Mart, she's been deliriously happy. Now Mart is fighting in Afghanistan, and Poppy is counting the days until he returns.
It takes one knock at the door to rip Poppy's world apart. Mart has been taken hostage, and it's too dangerous for the army to rescue him.
Poppy is determined to bring him home herself. But her journey will lead her to a heartbreaking dilemma. What price will she pay to save the man she loves?
This is a gripping story of loss and courage from an author who knows what it is like to be the one left behind.

    I did what I had to do because I had no choice. It was the only way to secure his freedom and because of that I have lost him. It’s all been for nothing, it’s destroyed us.’ It was poetic, ironic and very sad.
