Description
Don’t miss this BRAND-NEW emotional and uplifting World War 2 saga of courage, heartbreak, and the unbreakable ties of family.
1937. As the storm clouds of war gather over Europe, shy but determined Tilly Truscott leaves her close-knit Hampshire home to train as a nurse at the Royal County Hospital on the Isle of Wight. Thrust into a demanding new world, she forms an unlikely friendship with spirited Fliss Marcheson and finds herself drawn to the charming Dr Jonathan Burrows.
Back home, Tilly’s beloved nephew Ronnie dreams of becoming a pilot. When an act of quiet heroism brings him into the life of Sarah, a young woman hiding heartbreak behind her gentle smile, an unexpected connection sparks between them.
1939. War is declared, and Tilly and Fliss are sent overseas — to France, then the deserts of North Africa — where their friendship becomes a lifeline amid the horrors of the front lines. There, Tilly finds unexpected comfort in the kindness of American surgeon Jed Martinez, forcing her to question where her heart truly lies.
As bombs fall and lives hang in the balance, the Truscotts cling to hope across continents and battlefields. But when Tilly’s ambulance is caught in a deadly bombardment and Ronnie’s Spitfire crashes behind enemy lines, survival will demand extraordinary courage if they are to find their way back to the people they love.
A sweeping wartime romantic saga of love, friendship, sacrifice and the enduring power of family in the darkest of times.
Perfect for fans of Nadine Dorries, Rosie Clarke, Dilly Court, Anna Jacobs, Tania Crosse and Donna Douglas.
