Sofia's Story: Portraits in Blue - Book Four - Paperback

by Penny Fields-Schneider (Author)

The loss of her child leaves Sofia Tomlinson broken in mind and spirit. What is wrong with her, that everyone she loves dies? Convinced her husband, Jack, is also in danger, Sofia makes the agonising decision to leave him and return to the home of her childhood.

On the ocean crossing, Sofia's fragile state draws the attention of fellow traveller Marcus Edmunds, a psychologist whose professional interest soon becomes personal. Despite his efforts to dissuade her, Sofia sets forth for Malaga where she plans to reunite with her father and brother-a journey thwarted by Franco's brutal grip on Spain and Hitler's march across Europe.

Determined to forge an independent life for herself, Sofia joins the British Nursing Service, but the battlefronts of World War Two offer no relief from her agonising past. When the ever-steadfast Marcus presents her the chance for happiness, she realises it is an offer she should not ignore.

Will Sofia accept the hope he so willingly offers, or will ghosts of her past continue to haunt her?

Sofia's Story is the fourth book in the Portraits in Blue Series. It is a tale of love, loss and redemption set in the early 20th century against a backdrop of bohemian art worlds and the theatres of World War Two across the globe.
