When all seems lost…

As Hitler’s bombs rain down on a battered and beleaguered Britain, Ruby Shadwell is dealt the most devastating blow – her entire family lost during the Coventry Blitz.

Hope still survives…

Alone and with the city in chaos, Ruby is determined to survive this war and rebuild her life. And a chance encounter with street urchin Tommy gives Ruby just the chance she needs…

And love will overcome.

Because Tommy brings with him Canadian Sergeant Jean-Paul Clayton. Jean-Paul is drawn to Ruby and wants to help her, but Ruby cannot bear another loss.
Can love bloom amidst the ruins? Or will the war take Ruby’s last chance at happiness too?

Great Book

I truly enjoyed the twists and turns, smiles and tears. Hard to stop listening. Definitely worth the read

Lovely story

I enjoyed this story very much, the first I have read centred in Coventry. The poignant story of a young girl caught alone in the horror of the terrible bombings of Coventry. Rich characters and a wonderful tale of sadness and joy and fear and strength.

Excellent

I really enjoyed the heartwarming story. Yes I know it was during the war but the things they did to stay alive and do things for others. Always has to be a bad person who really don't care of others but himself. The joy of others helping others even thinking of doing something great for the soldiers to keep their feet warm. Falling in love for the for the first time. All kinds of emotions in the story.

Love the story

Really enjoyed the story but it was quite different from the description. Have always enjoyed the author’s work and look forward to her next book.
