Description
Having lost her husband at Dunkirk, Rebecca Daniels is not only raising her young daughter, Kim, single-handedly, but is coping with the demands of full-time teaching.
Then fate plays a hand in the form of a letter from Rebecca's Great Aunt Amelia. She is the owner of a school at Hornchurch in Essex and invites Rebecca to come and teach there.
She accepts the invitation with relief and soon forms a close bond with her feisty great aunt. Rebecca also comes to the attention of several suitors including Sergeant Luke Adams, a Cornish pilot from the neighbouring RAF base, and the attractive Dr Christopher Bates.
But in times of war and where emotions are concerned, people are not always what they seem and as Hitler's bombs rain down on Rebecca's world she comes to look afresh at all that she once considered important in her life.
But is she too late to make the right choice and find true happiness?
