1940.<\/strong> Small Heath, in the heart of Bimingham, is facing the darkest days of the war. Two very different girls from this tight-knit community join up as ARP wardens to do their bit for the Home Front. Violet Simons lives with her controlling mother. At just twenty years old, Violet longs for friendship, love and escape. It seems that her dreams might come true until tragedy strikes on one of the very worst nights of the Birmingham Blitz. Grace Templeton is the eldest in her family of ten children. Spirited Grace is determined never to become burdened by child-bearing and drudgery like her mother. Adored by childhood sweetheart Jimmy, Grace believes she can do better. Volunteering as an ARP warden feels like a chance for adventure – until she sees the horror and reality of war first hand. In this blacked-out city, she comes to realise that she is less in control of events than she had thought. The war will have long-lasting effects on every family… Amid the intense bombing, the girls’ lives will be changed forever by friendship and love, by tragedy and joy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":221,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[33],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-3740","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-fiction-m","first","instock","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-variable"],"yoast_head":"\n
