When everything you hold dear is torn apart by war, can love put you
back together again?
It's 1943, and the Second World War is raging. Ruby Mottram works
for her local newspaper, the Bartonford Herald, typing up adverts and
obituaries, whilst dreaming of a more exciting life. Between her shifts
as an ARP warden and caring for her ailing father, the chance for escape
doesn't come often to Devon.
Meanwhile, in America's deep south, Sam Archer is hatching a plan to
raise enough money to get his mother and sister away from his abusive
stepfather. Using falsified documents to hide his age, he enlists with
the U.S. Army.
Two chance encounters bring Ruby and Sam together from opposite sides of
the Atlantic, giving them the chance of love, hope and freedom from
their troubled lives. But fate, in the shape of D-Day and Omaha Beach,
has other ideas.
When their very lives are at risk, will their promise to wait for one
another be what keeps them alive?
