Blackpool, 1939
Elsie Harper has spent her whole life fighting to escape poverty. Touring the country with her best friend Kathleen O'Rourke and a small variety troupe, she finally dares to dream of love and happiness when she falls for charming performer Alec Morrison.
But when war tears her future apart, Elsie finds herself alone, pregnant, and struggling to survive once more. As heartbreak and tragedy follow her from the theatres of Blackpool to the darkest days of the war, it is Kathleen's fierce loyalty that keeps her going.
Together, the two friends face loss, betrayal, and the hardships of rebuilding their lives. But when old wounds threaten to destroy the bond between them, Elsie must decide where her future really lies...
A heartbreaking but uplifting wartime saga about friendship, love, and survival, perfect for fans of Kitty Neale, Katie Flynn, and Dilly Court.
