East London, 1942: With the war still raging, can the East End Girls help bring comfort and joy to their friends and neighbours this Christmas?

Christmas is coming, andย Alice Starlingย is trying hard to get into the festive spirit. Two years ago, she lost her beloved husband at Dunkirk, and it feels like a piece of her heart will always be missing.

With almost nightly raids on London, all Alice can think about is her important work defending the city with the Womenโ€™s Auxiliary Air Force until, on a rare night out with her friends Nell, George and Maeve, she encounters US Army Lieutenantย Broganย Rafferty. Sparks fly at their first meeting, and when Alice walks away, she isnโ€™t sure whether the brown-eyed soldier was infuriatingly handsome or just plain infuriatingโ€ฆ

But when Brogan volunteers to help to drum up rations and decorations for the Christmas party for local families that Alice and her friends are organising, she begins to warm to the smooth-talking American. Thereโ€™s a kindness in his smile as he plays with the children who have lost everything in the Blitz that has her wondering if there might be more to this man than meets the eyeโ€ฆ

Their relationship deepens as they spend more time together, and Alice begins to hope with all her heart for a future with Brogan. But as sirens wail over the city on Christmas Eve, they are separated in the rush for the air raid shelters.ย When the dust clears, will they find their way back to each other and their happy ending?

An utterly gorgeous and heartbreaking festive wartime saga about love, courage and friendship. Fans of Katie Flynn, Rosie Goodwin and Lizzie Lane wonโ€™t be able to stop turning the pages!
