'Come on, Kathy... tell me a secret.'
1943: Becoming a Home Front nurse, meant Kathy Scott was finally able to escape the violence of her childhood. At long last, her life has taken a turn for the better. Particularly because, for the very first time, she's made some wonderful friends-fellow nurses Sylvia, Freda and Veronica.
Kathy's known for not being short of a word or two. So nobody's more surprised than her when she finds herself tongue-tied around Freda's handsome brother, James - who's home from war with an unexplained injury.
Eventually they start to open up to each other... But can two people who have felt so broken by their experiences ever find a chance for happiness?
Don't miss this powerful and unputdownable wartime saga about courage, healing and the power of friendship!
