About this audiobook
When Frankie’s mother dies, she is sent to live with her Aunt Bet in Worthing, Sussex. Life on their farm is happy – for a while. But when World War Two breaks out, Frankie must help her country by signing up to the women’s branch of the British Army.
Soon, she meets Romare, an American doctor who has come to the UK after facing terrible racism at home. But trouble is stirring in Britain too, and it falls to Frankie to try to protect him. Can love triumph over a history of hate? Or will Frankie and Romare’s love pay the ultimate sacrifice?
A moving, thought-provoking story, perfect for fans of Katie Flynn and Maureen Lee.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I intensely dislike the majority of characters in this book. How can so many people be like that? So bitchy and nasty and short with one another, or trying to control the every action of the poor, dear, beautiful protagonist.
It's your run of the mill wartime saga - dragging on for too long, about a female character who doesn't really develop much past the quivering walk-over she was at the beginning, falling in love with someone who's perfect only to lose him and then falling in love again with an arrogant dick...
Little Miss Molly Mary-Sue Dearden was just too much of a Mary-Sue, even though she knew she was vaguely attractive. And she was really quite dumb and needed to grow a pair and tell her sister June to just shut up and mind her business.
And June. God, don't get me started on June. How could someone possibly be so obnoxious and nasty and judgemental?
Overall: Not the worst wartime saga I've read, but Annie Groves has produced much better material recently.
