Secrets of a Charmed Life is the story of how two young sisters survived World War II in London.
In 2015, at Stow-on-the-Wold in the English countryside, Kendra Van Zant, a history major, interviews 93 year old Isabel MacFarland. Kendra quickly realizes Isabel is not her subject's real name, nor is she 93. Isabel, a well-known artist, tells Kendra the tale of two young girls living in London just before the beginning, in the spring of 1940, of the strategic bombing campaign by the Germans against London that became known as the Blitz. The story centers on 15 year old, Emmy, and seven year old, Julia.
Emmy and Julia's mother, Anne, is a single mother working as a maid. She is able to care well for them, but she is often out of the house. Emmy has to be the responsible member of the household when it comes to caring for Julia.

Secrets of a Charmed Life by Susan Meissner | Summary and Analysis (Audible Audio Edition) Instaread Michael Gilboe Books
I have read several books recently dealing with the World War II and I think they have been an excellent reminder of the tragic incidents that happened to those innocent people who became victims of Hitler and his obsession for power. I was in my early teens during the 2nd World War. I watched my grandfather change the pins around on a map(to try to keep track of one son and 5 sons-in-law) each evening as he listened to the news on his radio. On the other side of the family two uncles and several cousins were also in the service. As they turned 18 some of the boys dropped out of school to volunteer before they were drafted. Our school scoured all the farms in the county for discarded machinery for recycling, saved all the foil on our gum wrappers and rolled it into balls, bought war bonds and did all we could to help boost the moral of "our" soldiers. Everyone did all they could to support our military in any way possible. I wrote to all family members in the service to keep them informed on family and community news and they wrote back. Shoes, sugar, coffee, gas, tires, and many other items were rationed. It took months to a year or two to get a new car or truck. The war was real here. Many of our fine young men did not return home after the war. WE WERE A VERY PATRIOTIC NATION AT THAT TIME AND I HOPE THAT THE MANY WHO HAVE CHOSEN TO LIVE IN THIS NATION WOULD RISE TO HELP PROTECT IT IF THE NEED EVER ROSE AGAIN. GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL OTHER NATIONS THAT WE MAY LIVE TOGETHER PEACEFULLY.Product details

Entertaining read.
Lost in the Forest was not up to par. Comparing this novel with others it was predictable and not as interesting.It seemed that the ending was hastily completed and rounded with a summary. A disappointment.
sweet story and well presented.
Great read!
This was a captivating read. The Instaread summary captured it well as I prepared for my Book Group discussion after reading the book two months earlier.
