Description
The war will change all of their lives ... Ruby and Jim Searle are running a guest house in Worthing, but the newlyweds have had a difficult start to their marriage. Their troubles are only set to get worse when orphan Jim starts to unravel an unpleasant secret from his past. The guest house is in much demand and Ruby is asked to take in two German schoolboys on a cultural exchange. She agrees, but when they arrive they seem a lot older and their activities are far from innocent. The boys' arrival is followed by that of two Jewish refugees and Ruby does as much as she can to help these young girls in her care. The country gears up for war and Ruby throws herself into war work as a distraction from her personal troubles. The mystery connected to Jim's childhood deepens, with devastating consequences. And as war is declared, Ruby's life is changed forever ...
