North Yorkshire, September 1939.

Rosina Calvert-Lazenby, the only surviving member of her family and widowed by forty-four, has lived at Raven Hall all her life. With war approaching, Rosina must be strong for her daughters, five confident young women who are thick as thieves.

When the RAF come to stay at Raven Hall, Rosina finds herself intrigued by their charismatic, albeit young, officer. But is there time for love with the war looming and her eldest daughter leaving home?

Grace Calvert-Lazenby, twenty-one years old and newly graduated from Oxford, is determined to live a fuller life. Leaving behind her mother and sisters at home, she joins the Women's Royal Naval Service.

Trading the safety and familiarity of Raven Hall for exhausting drills, difficult training and conflicting acts of secrecy will not be easy. But Grace knows that everyone has a part to play in the war and she is ready for a brave new adventure.

With so much on the line, Rosina and Grace must learn how to push themselves and have the courage to lead those around them into the unknown . . .

This heartwarming, dramatic World War II saga is perfect for fans of Vicki Beeby, Kate Thompson and Rosie Clarke.

Wow, this book is truly an excellent piece of work. Firstly it's very easy to get into the story and understand the characters which is always a big bonus for many readers. But it's how this story is presented and the depth of the characters that makes this an exceptional book. It truly is worth reading this book and although there are endless books out there covering world war two, many of which I have found very enjoyable but this one truly does stand out from the rest. Why this is? you need to read it as it's something I cannot put into words. All I can say is if you miss out on this title it would be such a shame as it's such a rewarding read. Also I cannot forget to comment that the narration was of great quality too

far reaching expectations
