Love and Hate launched
Love and Hate by J. B. Williams is now available from the Darcy Press Website - www.darcypress.co.uk.
This is the outline:
Two young people meet by chance in the late summer of 1945 in post war Amsterdam, and slowly find that their wartime experiences mirror each other. But where he is just glad to still be alive, she is consumed by hate for those that so nearly succeeded in murdering her. Love and Hate is the story of the rocky road of their growing love as they try to come to terms with their past. Certainty that the rest of her family will not return and that she is the sole survivor begins her journey back.
Coming face to face with her betrayer, who led to her capture and incarceration in extermination camps, and having her, in turn, in her power helps the healing process, but a surprising discovery in the ruins of war torn Berlin brings a kind of catharsis, as it drains away the fear underlying her hate. He supports her all through this difficult process, but as she recovers in body and spirit the responsibilities of normal life and the loss of his family begin to overpower him, and she must now be strong enough to support him in return. In this survival alone they are helped by many people, but as they return to a sort of normality they find that, without realizing it, they have helped those people around them with their own lives.
