Return to Greystone

by Meredith Kennon

Return to Greystone is the dramatic and heartwarming conclusion to her Greystone Series, which has brought England’s World War II home-front struggles to life. Nearly six years into the war, Mrs. Eleanor Wood, the widowed mistress of Greystone Manor, anxiously awaits the return of her son William from a Japanese POW camp. A recent letter from him to his steadfast fiancée has given rise to new hope that he has indeed survived the war. As the conflict in the Pacific draws to its frighful close, Eleanor finds that instead of the quiet reprieve she was anticipating, her home is needed more than ever to alleviate the widespread housing shortage. Concerned by the difficulties still facing the war-torn people of her country, she observes those around her bravely embracing the future, and wishes she was young enough to pursue the desires of her own heart. Drawing strength from her family, and most especially from Gilda Gardner, her young protégé, Eleanor watches, wishes, and waits.

AT WILLOWS EDGE

By Meredith Kennon

In the final months of World War II, newly-wedded Thomas and Gilda Gardner make their home at Willows Edge, in the village of Englewood, Warwickshire. Thomas is assigned as a pilot instructor at Lindley Field, having been wounded in France on D-day, and Gilda resumes her war work at nearby Greystone Manor. Under the direction of Mrs. Eleanor Wood, her mentor and owner of the estate, Gilda assists in the kitchen, feeding the airmen billeted there. Good news from the continent gives false hope that the war will soon be over, and Eleanor makes plans to host a celebratory Christmas, hoping that the unwed mother of her grandson can be persuaded to come. In some kind of final insult to the war-battered people of England, the V-2 bombs come on the scene, and the threat they pose unnerves even the steady Priscilla Armstrong. The destruction of one such explosion is far-reaching and ultimately risks the safety and happiness of those many miles from its impact. Eleanor and her staff at Greystone Manor once again provide a safe haven to those in harm's way, welcoming lonely newcomers, including an innocent, orphaned love child, who finds herself in a grownup world she cannot understand. Eleanor works selflessly toward the physical comfort of those in her home, investing personally in their ultimate happiness, while her own heart is rent in two by the agonizing hope that her son is still alive.

Almost Enough
By Meredith Kennon

On the morning of her seventeenth birthday, any hopes that Gilda Morris might have had for a special day are dashed when she hears on the wireless that England has declared war with Germany. Handicapped from birth, Gilda does not get an opportunity to do her bit in the war until four years later. Her neighbor and friend, Mrs. Eleanor Wood, determinedly gets Gilda called up to do war work at her home, Grey Stone Manor in Warwickshire, where she provides accommodation for airmen stationed at the nearby training field. Within hours of her service, Gilda is able to forget her own disabilities as she witnesses the many sacrifices made by others. Out from under her mother’s critical eye, Gilda begins to realize that there is more to her than her deformities. She becomes part of a world to which she had never before been exposed, sees firsthand the vagaries of human nature, and believes that it is almost enough until she finds herself very much in love.

Tattered Letters
By Meredith Kennon

An unknown casualty of World War II surfaces some thirty-three years later, when in 1979, Dale Johnson is forced to confess to his married daughter, Beth Anne Mosher, that she was the product of a war-time love affair. His wife was duped, he admits, into adopting his own child when her biological mother thought that she was dying of tuberculosis in England. Sick and afraid to take her illegitimate daughter home to her rigid parents, Maggie Paxton made the mistake of a lifetime and sent her baby girl to America and then lived to regret it. It is not until the adopting mother dies of breast cancer and the daughter fears the same for herself that her father is compelled to tell her that she had been adopted and regrettably never told. He opens what he fears will be Pandora’s Box, but what proves instead to be the revival of long lost truths that no one person could have guessed, because each of them held only one piece of the puzzle. As the pieces of truth come together and trust evolves, old and new romances can come out of the darkness of deception and into the light of day.

Under the Same Umbrella
By Meredith Kennon

After her mother's death and at her request, thirty-six year old Londoner, Carrie Townsend, travels to America to meet a stranger, Janet Larson, her mother's long-distance friend of many years. Travel-weary and broken-hearted, Carrie knows only that she is to learn things from Janet that her mother, Rachel, could not bear to tell her herself. She has always known that she was born on Long Island in 1969 to an unwed mother, but until now had never thought to question her mother's connection to Janet and the history that they shared. This meeting is not easy for Janet either who has learned over time to put her past tragedies to rest and live peacefully in the present. Neither Carrie nor Janet can foresee that their future happiness hinges on their connection to each other and the past. In the safety of the small town of Settler's Grove, Carrie finds comfort for her grief, balm for her guilt, companionship in the form of a six year old boy, and finally romance when she least expects it.
