As the war rages on around her, one girl in blue's life is about to change forever. Even in wartime, East End girl Nancy Evans has reason to hope. She's a rising star in the Women's Auxiliary Air Force and she'll be walking down the aisle any day now. But then, a brutal night of bombing changes her life forever. Newly pregnant and single, Nancy swaps her blue uniform for a pinny, taking on housekeeping duties for handsome village doctor, David Denny. And though Nancy tries to stay cheerful and contribute to the war effort in any way she can, it isn't long before she finds herself leaning on David for comfort.

The countryside is a world away from the home she grew up in, and Nancy soon learns not everyone approves of her Poplar roots – or her romantic entanglement with David. But David doesn't care about where she comes from. Does he?

On the other hand, their relationship is threatened by the disapproval of Nancy's family and friends, as well as the social pressures of the time.

Despite these challenges, Nancy and David continue to grow closer. They spend time together, sharing their hopes and fears, and supporting each other through the difficult times. Nancy finds herself falling in love with David, but she is also aware of the risks involved. She knows that their relationship could be a scandal, and that it could cost her everything.

As the war comes to an end, Nancy and David must face the consequences of their relationship. They must decide whether to stay together or to separate, and they must also decide what to do with their unborn child. Nancy is torn between her love for David and her loyalty to her family and friends.

In the end, Nancy and David decide to stay together. They face the challenges of their relationship with courage and determination, and they find strength in each other. Their love for each other is a source of hope and inspiration for everyone around them, and they continue to work together to build a better future for themselves and their child.

Nancy and David's story is a testament to the power of love and the resilience of the human spirit. It reminds us that even in the darkest of times, there is always hope for a better tomorrow.
