From the bestselling author of The Open Door comes a moving and uplifting story about a generation of young people living through World War II

September, 1939.


In the sleepy village of Roehampton, Annie Webster has finally found comfort for herself and her close-knit family, far from the poverty and hardships of their childhood in Bermondsey.

Then, an announcement shatters their newfound peace. England is at war . . .

As her brothers enlist for duty, Annie sacrifices her glamorous job in London for the urgent work of the WAAF, where women of all backgrounds pull together tirelessly for the war effort.

Brave, resourceful and determined to do her bit for her country, Annie's intelligence and warmth singles her out for a daring new role . . .

But as Annie quickly catches the eye of a dashing officer, will she ever find peace in her heart?

And will Annie and her loved ones survive Britain's darkest hour?
