Summary:
A tale of unbreakable bonds in times of strife. It is 1940 in coastal Lincolnshire and Carolyn Holmes is keen to do what she can for the war effort. Raised on the family farm, she's prevented by her mother, Lilian, from going to secretarial college after leaving the local grammar school, although nothing is too good for her brother, Tom. Phyllis Carter, a widow from the Great War, lives close by with her son, Peter, who works on the farm. Peter and Carolyn are great friends but do not see a future together, although it's the dearest wish of both Phyllis and Lilian to see them marry. After their home town is caught in an air raid, Peter decides to volunteer - to the distress of his mother, who makes life difficult for Carolyn as she blames her for not marrying Peter and keeping him safe at home. Carolyn leaves to join the ATS, where she meets Beryl Morley, who will become a lifelong friend.
