Ordinary Heroes
Published: August 2023
Synopsis
From the bombed-out streets of London to the blood-soaked hills of Sicily, Ordinary Heroes follows George and Esther as they battle to survive — and preserve their love — in the chaos of the Second World War. George, deployed overseas, is torn between duty and morality as he joins the Resistance, while Esther, a German-Jewish refugee, is unjustly interned before finding purpose amid the ruins of London.
In a world scarred by war, abuse, prejudice, and fear, George and Esther must each confront their darkest moments — and somehow hold onto hope. As they navigate loss, trauma, and the lasting scars of conflict, they discover what it truly means to be a hero. Ordinary Heroes is a heartfelt continuation of The Summer of ’39, shining a light on the quiet bravery of those who endured not just the war, but the uncertain peace that followed.
