A heartbreaking tale of love and loss in a time of war, perfect for
fans of Katie Flynn and Annie Groves. Jenny O'Leary is devastated
one morning in 1940 when she receives a telegram giving her the
dreadful news that one of her brothers has been killed in action.
Grief threatens to engulf her, but as an ARP warden, tending to
Birmingham's injured after the nightly raids, she is well-used to
the suffering that thousands are enduring every day. Linda Prosser
is just twelve years old and desperately close to her mother and
two tiny brothers. As the bombs drop around them one fateful night,
Linda takes a risk which has disastrous consequences. Terrified,
and buried beneath a mass of debris after her home takes a direct
hit, it is Jenny who crawls through the wreckage of the house to
rescue her. So begins a friendship which is last through the years.
But when Linda falls in love with a man that Jenny despises, she is
faced with sacrificing her future happiness for the friend who has
given her everything...
