London, East End, 1941: When everything is lost, can love rebuild a family?
With the Blitz blazing through London and sirens wailing through the night, district nurse Sarah Rhodes tends the injured and comforts the frightened, determined to endure this terrible war. But when her own home is destroyed, she is forced to leave London and seek refuge at Harbour House.
There, more devastating bad news awaits. Her beloved husband Stan, a brave RAF pilot flying dangerous bombing raids, is reported missing in action when his plane fails to return. Sarah's world shatters.
Until she uncovers a secret: the children of Harbour House have been hiding an evacuee in the air-raid shelter. Abandoned and alone, young Jimmy has no one left to care for him.
Unable to turn her back, Sarah resolves to become the mother he needs. But can she build a family from the wreckage of war? And will more bad news hit Harbour House or is there hope on the horizon?
