Description: Briony Valentine lives at home with her mother Lois, father James and two younger siblings. For as long as Briony can remember, she has been soft on the boy next door, Ernie. When the Luftwaffe begin their bombing campaign of the Midlands, Ernie is called upon to serve, as is James, and Bryony's world is torn apart. Each day the telegrams pour in to different families along their street and all Briony can do is pray for James and Ernie's safety. Will life for the Valentine family ever be the same, and will Briony ever see Ernie again?
