When everything you hold dear is torn apart by war, can love put
you back together again? It's 1943, and the Second World War is
raging. Ruby Mottram works for her local newspaper, the Bartonford
Herald, typing up adverts and obituaries, whilst dreaming of a more
exciting life. Between her shifts as an ARP warden and caring for
her ailing father, the chance for escape doesn't come often to
Devon. Meanwhile, in America's deep south, Sam Archer is hatching a
plan to raise enough money to get his mother and sister away from
his abusive stepfather. Using falsified documents to hide his age,
he enlists with the U.S. Army. Two chance encounters bring Ruby and
Sam together from opposite sides of the Atlantic, giving them the
chance of love, hope and freedom from their troubled lives. But
fate, in the shape of D-Day and Omaha Beach, has other ideas. When
their very lives are at risk, will their promise to wait for one
another be what keeps them alive? For fans of Suzanne Kelman, Ellie
Midwood and Catherine Hokin. Readers love Before the Dawn: 'An
