Dee Williams 
Hopes and Dreams 
War breaks both hearts and dreams

After her heart is stolen by an American GI, will she find true happiness? Dee Williams writes a heartrending saga in Hopes and Dreams – the tale of a young woman as she discovers that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Perfect for fans of Dilly Court and Sheila Newberry.’Another wonderfully warm-hearted winner from Dee Williams… Her readers will be queuing up for this one’ – Gilda O’Neill It’s 1942 and Dorothy Taylor, now eighteen, dreams of distant lands far from the grey backstreets of Rotherhithe where she has spent all her life. As the war rages on, excitement comes in the form of the Americans posted in London. Although Dolly is engaged to Tony, a boy from her street who has been called up, she can’t help but fall in love with Joe, a dashing American GI who eventually asks her to marry him. But America is not all she imagined it would be, and she’s shocked by the cool welcome Joe’s mother gives her. As she struggles to make friends and understand the man she’s married, Dorothy begins to realise that she made a terrible mistake when she walked away from Tony, and wonders if he even remembers the innocent young girl who broke his heart. Only when she returns to Rotherhithe can she find out if there is still a chance of happiness for the two of them. What readers are saying about Hope and Dreams: ‘A great read.
