A captivating saga set on the eve of WW2 in Liverpool, where life
is about to change forever for one girl. As war breaks out so too
does Molly Dearden... Molly is used to living in the shadow of her
older sister, June. When their mother died when Molly was just
seven years old, June helped their grief-stricken father look after
her in their tiny home in the tight-knit Edge Hill district of
Liverpool. But as her seventeenth birthday passes, Molly doesn't
realise how much she is going to have to grow up. As the threat of
a second world war looms, she must learn to protect herself, her
family, and her heart. When hostilities finally break out, Molly
finds the courage to enlist in the Women's Voluntary Service.
There, she can help the war effort and finally stand on her own two
feet. It's a terrifying time, but also some of the best days of her
life, especially when she meets, and falls for Eddie. The pair live
for the precious hours when Eddie is on leave from the Navy and
excitedly plan their future together. But then tragedy strikes.
Devastated, Molly can take no more. But then the terrible reality
of war hits her home town and Molly must find the strength to
protect those closest to her heart.
