In a tiny town on the coast of Lancashire, Lily Brown is trying to hold her world together.
With England in the throes of World War II, 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 beautifully 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.
