This touching narrative follows Rozalin Sachs as she navigates love and loss during wartime. In White Christmas, her journey unfolds amidst the backdrop of historical turmoil.

In White Christmas, Rozalin Sachs's life takes a dramatic turn when a tragic accident tears her away from her family in Frankfurt. As the Nazi regime tightens its grip on Germany, Roz finds herself on the Kindertransport headed for Holland, filled with uncertainty and fear. It is here that she encounters Felix, a spirited young boy who becomes her steadfast companion as they navigate their perilous journey toward England. Together, they promise to look out for each other amidst the chaos of their lives.

Upon arriving in Liverpool, Roz hopes for a fresh start, but fate deals her another blow when Felix is suddenly taken from her. Heartbroken yet resilient, she seeks a new purpose by joining the Women's Land Army, where she finds herself working on a sprawling farm called Hollybank. It is here that she meets Bernie, the charming farmer's son, whose affections for her complicate her emotions. As Roz grapples with her feelings for both Felix and Bernie, she must confront the memories of her past and the possibilities of her future.

White Christmas is a poignant tale of love, loss, and the strength of the human spirit during one of history's darkest times. As Roz navigates the challenges of war, friendship, and newfound love, readers will be drawn into her journey of self-discovery and resilience, making this a perfect read for the winter season.
