In a tiny town on the coast of Lancashire, Lily Brown is trying to hold her world together.
With England in the throes of WWII, her alcoholic father a prisoner overseas, and her mother struggling to make ends meet, she is convinced marrying her wealthy suitor is the best way to take care of her family.
Until a blue-eyed American soldier turns her life upside-down.
Based on a true story, this meticulously researched biographical novel follows Lily's journey as she finds herself torn between the country she loves and the man who has stolen her heart. Haunted by dark memories, afraid of putting aside her own plans, and faced with a future nothing like what she expected, can she find the courage to forge a new life in America?
Or will she let her fears - and the past she can't let go of - destroy her chance for happiness with the man who adores her?
