The first heartwarming book in the Cornish Girls saga series perfect for fans of Ginny Bell and Elaine Everest

1941. The Blitz rages over London.

And even in Cornwall, the war is being fought…

When Violet loses her sister in the Blitz, she must take her nieces to safety in Cornwall. On the coast, she meets carefree chorus girl Eva, who is also running from the dangers of London.
