Her family is reunited, and life settles into a routine - but Rachel yearns for more. Melly, Rachel's eldest daughter, is a child of the war. She grew up in the bombed-out streets of Birmingham, and has never known anything other than supporting her family. But times are changing and Melly now has a fresh future ahead of her - she's determined to fulfil her dream of becoming a nurse. As the promise of the 1950s dawns, a new world of opportunity opens up to Rachel and Melly - but with this come new challenges. They will each have to decide where their loyalties remain ... Will it be with the family and friends they clung to throughout the war, or is it time to move on? - Publishers description.
