Publisher's Synopsis
How can their families stay together? Katie arrives in Liverpool, where her work is so secret she can't even speak about it to the family she's billeted with, but she's delighted when they make her feel like one of their own. Which is just fine with everyone but Luke, son of the household and battle-scarred veteran of Dunkirk, whose heart has been broken by a flighty nurse. His mother can't help worrying about him - and about her youngest children, the twins, who don't see why a war should stop them having fun. Then the bombs begin to rain down, and everyone must realise what matters most in life.
