A captivating tale of resilience, courage, and the enduring power of love amidst the backdrop of a world transformed by war, Elizabeth Buchan's novel takes readers on an unforgettable journey.

Orphaned and homeless after the devastating Blitz, Jack finds solace in a new chapter of his life when he embarks on a journey with the Merchant Navy. As he awaits the ships' gathering in a secret Scottish harbor, fate brings him into the path of Olivia, a young woman who has also been displaced by the war.

Before the war, their paths would have never crossed, but these are extraordinary times, demanding that they embrace the uncertainty and live each day as if it could be their last. Their unlikely connection sparks a profound bond that transcends the boundaries of class and circumstance.

As they navigate the challenges and hardships of their new lives, Jack and Olivia discover the strength and resilience that comes from facing adversity together. Their love story unfolds against the backdrop of a world that has been irrevocably altered by war, but their love remains steadfast and unwavering.

Praise for this remarkable debut flows in from critics and readers alike. "An emotional and memorable read," exclaimed Womans Own. "A story about class changing conventions, as much as it is a war story," noted The Times. "De Haan writes with depth and compassion," praised Jeffrey Archer.

It is a story of resilience, courage, and the profound impact of love that transcends the boundaries of time and place. Through the characters of Jack and Olivia, Buchan invites readers to reflect on the transformative power of war and the resilience of the human heart.
