SHE LONGED TO SERVE HER COUNTRY IN ITS HOUR OF NEED...

Attractive, clever and wilful, Lily Knowles is desperate to leave home. So at twenty-one she escapes to London to train as a nurse, where she gathers many admirers - none more dashing than RAF officer Sandy Redfern, with whom she falls in love.

But the coming of war, with the chaos of the Blitz, brings upheavals and unforeseen entanglements. Nursing a broken heart, Lily throws herself into her work, which sends her to a busy RAF hospital in Hampshire, where a faithful childhood sweetheart persuades her to become engaged to him.

And then fate brings Sandy Redfern back into her life. What of their once passionate love and her present commitment?

Can the past ever be recaptured and can past wrongs be righted?
