From the author of Miss Lily's Lovely Ladies comes a moving and heart-warming story that is perfect for Christmas - and beyond. December 1918 This first peacetime Christmas should be perfect. But this is a ceasefire, not peace. Influenza ravages Europe, and the hospital supplies Sophie ordered six months ago have not arrived from Australia. And the old woman in Ward 3 will not stop knitting. Yet, even in war-torn Europe, Christmas miracles are possible, as a stranger reveals the extraordinary story of how thousands of female resistance workers sent coded messages, including the most important message a woman can send. And somehow Christmas does arrive, the perfect Christmas, with love from Miss Lily.
