The Gown Shop on Regent Street

By Meredith Kennon

The war is over at last, and London is alive and vibrant, but a city of rubble and deprivation. One woman, Priscilla Armstrong, determines to pursue her dream of opening a gown shop in the wartorn city, offering exquisite designs of her own making, salvaged from materials of previous generation's castoffs.The shop becomes a place of beauty and creativity,  where ladies of all walks of life find brief respite from the hardships and trauma of the past seven years. Within its walls, a handful of residents seeks what all of England craves, a return to normalcy, and the fulfillment of hopes and dreams, once so seemingly out of reach. Amidst rationing, crime, and a terrible housing shortage, something of beauty peeks out from the rubble and speaks to the wounded hearts of the women who so bravely endured it all.

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.
