A BRAND NEW emotional and heartfelt WWI saga of friendship, courage and a close-knit harbour community from the BESTSELLING author of The Last Boat Home! Perfect for fans of Dilly Court, Rosie Goodwin and Kitty Neale. 'I was swept up by this beautiful story of love, loss and the courage of so many during the war' Helen Parusel Can their friendship help them weather the storm? Young Julia Fowler's life revolves around Poole Harbour and its lifeboat - her older brother Wilbur is a volunteer crew member, and every blast of the mortar fills her with fear for his safety. When news of the Titanic disaster reaches the town, the close-knit seafaring community is rocked to its core. One of their own has been lost, and grief hangs over the harbour. But Julia and her friends - Kathy, Flora, and Betsy - are also discovering new opportunities for themselves, stepping up in a world that is slowly beginning to open doors to women. Yet change is never easy. Opposition rises at home and in the community, and tensions grow as the country edges closer to war. Julia dreams of a better childhood for her younger siblings, even as the world around her becomes increasingly uncertain. As the girls navigate heartbreak, responsibility, and the stirrings of romance, they must rely on their friendship to guide them through darkening times. Will it be enough to see them safely into the future?
