1944, the darkest days of the war. Trixie and Vi are back in Gosport and doing their bit to help Britain win the war. Felling trees is backbreaking, but at least they know they're doing vital work. Trixie has a new boyfriend, Eddie. He's charming, handsome, and always flush with cash - a real Gosport catch, though Vi isn't so sure. Something about Eddie doesn't seem quite right, and Vi will do anything to convince Trixie that she's making a mistake with this relationship. Though Trixie loves Eddie, she finds it hard to forget Cy, the man she fell in love with at the start of the War, who was declared missing in action. As the bombs fall on Gosport both girls have big decisions to make.

Will their friendship carry them through the hardest days? ****************************** What readers are saying about Rosie Archer 'An amazing read' 5* Reader Review 'Kept me hooked from the beginning' 5* Reader Review 'Great characterisation' 5* Reader Review 'A wonderful storyteller' 5* Reader Review 'Heart-warming' 5* Reader Review.
