Publisher's Synopsis
From a quiet country background, Eileen Howard is sent into service at Charnwood House. But as war breaks out, she finds herself suddenly alone, maligned and cast out into a world in chaos. In the WAAF she is determined to make a life for herself, away from the past secrets that haunt her. As the fateful year of 1940 dawns, Eileen is thrown together with women from all walks of life, and friendships are forged that will endure the rigours of war and the test of time. Swept into the struggle for survival on the Battle of Britain fighter stations, the women face both challenge and tragedy together.
