Our Silent

Footsteps

Rachel Healey

KEY SELLING POINTS
Based on true events, a story which tackles whether it is possible to love someone when you know nothing
about their past.
The painful and often silent aftermath of the trauma of World War Two.
The meeting of two characters from very different cultural backgrounds.

They say that to really know a person you need to understand their past. If that is true, then Mary Beker did not
know her husband, Jozef, at all…

Warsaw, 2005. An elderly Mary is searching for clues regarding her late husband’s pre-war life: the first wife
and children he had to leave behind; the siblings who vanished. There’s a danger the answers she finds could
ruin the memory of the man she adored, memories of their time together. When unravelling his past causes her
to revisit uncomfortable memories of her own, Mary must reach a new understanding of the events that
brought them together.

Spanning continents, cultures and time, Our Silent Footsteps is based on the true story of Mary, an Egyptian
Copt and Jozef, a Polish Jew. A love story transcending the trauma of war.

Rachel Healey has a passion for history, having first worked at Windsor Castle and then English Heritage.
After a subsequent career in HR, she now runs a memoir writing service, combining her passion for writing with
her love of the past.
