About this listen

In Kate's War: A Novel, acclaimed author Linda Stewart Henley delivers a gripping and heartfelt story set against the backdrop of World War II. Brought to you by Audiobook Publishing Services, Narrated by the talented Emma Heap, this emotionally charged audiobook takes listeners on a journey through 1939 Britain, where a young woman’s dreams collide with the harsh realities of war.

Twenty-year-old Kate is ready to leave behind her small London suburb and chase her dream of becoming a singer. But when Britain declares war on Germany, Kate’s future is suddenly uncertain. Her ambitions are put on hold as she faces the threats of bombing raids and the possibility of invasion. Living in a time of fear and uncertainty, Kate struggles to find balance in her life—particularly as a speech disability hinders her singing career and a failed romance adds to her emotional burden.

However, Kate’s world is turned upside down when a young Jewish girl, orphaned and desperate after her parents are deported, comes to Kate for help. As the war escalates, Kate is faced with a responsibility she never imagined—a duty to protect the vulnerable in a time of unimaginable danger. In helping this young girl escape, Kate learns that survival and freedom are not guaranteed, and that courage often arises in the face of evil.

With Henley’s vivid storytelling and Heap’s evocative narration, Kate’s War explores themes of personal sacrifice, resilience, and the courage required to stand up for what’s right—even when it means putting your own dreams on hold. This powerful, historical fiction audiobook will resonate with fans of WWII dramas, coming-of-age stories, and tales of courage and compassion in the darkest of times.Perfect for fans of historical fiction, Kate’s War will transport you to a time when the stakes were high, and every choice carried weight. If you love immersive, character-driven stories with unforgettable emotional depth, this audiobook is a must-listen.
