blow - her entire family lost during the Coventry Blitz. Hope still
survives... Alone and with the city in chaos, Ruby is determined to
survive this war and rebuild her life. And a chance encounter with
street urchin Tommy gives Ruby just the chance she needs... And
love will overcome. Because Tommy brings with him Canadian Sergeant
Jean-Paul Clayton. Jean-Paul is drawn to Ruby and wants to help
her, but Ruby cannot bear another loss. Can love bloom amidst the
ruins? Or will the war take Ruby's last chance at happiness too?
When his kindly master dies, a ten-year-old orphan living in seventeenth-century England joins a group of Separatists and follows them to Holland and on to America, where their quest for religious freedom becomes a struggle to survive.
