Description: To the Porters and the Mills, family and friendship had been the glue binding everything together. But their lives are shattered when the Porters' home is destroyed in the Blitz. Only seventeen-year-old Nell and her little sister Pansy survive. Peg Mills welcomes them into her family and gradually the girls thrive: Pansy, evacuated to the countryside home of Peg's loving mother, and Nell in her new job at the local newspaper. But trouble looms. Nell discovers her suitor, Gus Granger, hides a dangerous secret and her childhood friend Ed Mills is declared missing in action. Nell is distraught that the war has stolen the man she cares about most. If only she'd told him how she really felt about him before it was too late...
