After the devastating Blitz, Clemmie finds herself starting over from scratch. Determined to make a positive impact, she dedicates herself to volunteering with the very organisation that provided support to her and her sisters when they were homeless: the WVS (Women's Voluntary Service). Her natural talent and willingness to help shine through, and she is soon assigned the task of setting up one of the British Welcome Clubs, aimed at facilitating the integration of American troops into English life.

At the Welcome Club, Clemmie meets Squadron Leader Dunning, a brave pilot who was shot down during the Blitz and left partially paralyzed. Their friendship blossoms into something more, but Clemmie faces an impossible decision: should she sacrifice her dreams of motherhood to be with the man she loves, or risk losing him forever?

As Clemmie juggles her volunteer work, her relationship with Squadron Leader Dunning, and the ever-present danger and chaos of war, she realizes the importance of speaking up and finding joy in life. She must navigate the challenges and hardships that come her way, all while holding onto hope and perseverance.
