An absolutely heartbreaking and uplifting wartime story of love, loss and friendship.
1942.
Determined to do her bit for the war effort, Yorkshire lass Evie Sinclair leaves her island home to become an Ack Ack Gunner Girl, defending Britain from Luftwaffe attacks.
On the train steaming towards the Durham training depot, Evie meets lively fellow recruits Lily and Gloria - and the three become firm friends.
As they embark on a gruelling training programme, Evie, Lily and Gloria grab whatever rare opportunity they can to enjoy themselves. At a local dance, Evie meets handsome young RAF pilot, Matt, and the pair begin a passionate romance.
When Matt proposes, Evie''s happiness should be complete, but she''s reluctant to give up her new-found freedom, and agrees to marry only when the war is over.
Then tragedy strikes. Forced to leave the services, Evie returns home - only to be shunned by her disapproving mother. Alone and pregnant, Evie is determined to keep her baby.
But life will be tough for a penniless unmarried mother at a time when women are judged harshly and the men are away at war. It''s a long way from Evie''s carefree days as a Gunner Girl. Will she ever be reunited with Lily and Gloria?
Fans of Nadine Dorries, Rosie Goodwin, Dilly Court, Anna Jacobs, Rosie Clarke, Tania Crosse, Lizzie Lane and Catherine Cookson will devour this emotional wartime saga.
