My Books
Milly Adams, in common with most authors, has a theme, or idea, which consistently runs through her novels. Milly’s theme on which she hangs different plots is the conviction that love, family and community hold lives together, especially when the chips are down. Without this, Milly believes people will sink, not swim.
Praise for Milly Adams
Dr Kathleen Thompson, award winning author of From Both Ends of the Stethoscope
" Milly Adams doesn’t just tell an amazing heartwarming story, she envelopes the reader in the complete unputdownable experience. "
BREAKING NEWS: The digital copy of The Waterway Girls by Milly Adams is now available from Amazon at £0.99 (for a short time).
‘As an author I have the privilege of writing about my preoccupation, again and again, but using a different plot, or story, and different characters.’
So, does this theme hold good in all Milly Adams’ novels?

The Waterway Girls saga features the canal community during the 2nd World War, when women were drafted in to deliver steel, coal and all sorts of necessary wartime supplies using the canal narrowboats. In this saga Milly shows how the new narrowboat girls develop into a team or family and meld into the boater community, once respect is earned.

At Long Last Love weaves between several communities in war time. A London nightclub where the star is a night club singer who left her village in ignominy and has finally found a ‘home’. But she is forced to return to care for her niece. Will her nightclub community still support her, will the village continue to ostracise her, or close around her? What about her sister, who is leaving her child to step into another far more dangerous world alone, but within her new clandestine community. A shifting, precarious existence. Will the undercover community stay strong?

Sisters at War takes place amongst the changing community in Jersey during the wartime occupation and also the west country. Will the mainland family save the Channel Islands sister from herself? Will they combine to save others who need to flee the island?
image of Above us the Sky
Above us the Sky shows evacuees and their teachers in a new unfamiliar rural community. And a young man drafted as a submariner, one of the tightest communities in the world. Will they all survive?
So, yes, the theme is there: love, community family. As the author I love the people in these books, They represent, and remind us of the existence of those others, the ones who came before, the battles they fought, the stoicism they exhibited, their support of others. Such courage, such endurance, such humour. Will we see their like again? I am sure they/we are still here bringing the same things to our communities, or so I hope. Bless ‘em all.
