Liverpool, 1939 . Bella Rogers thought her life was just starting; she can't wait to get married to her childhood sweetheart, Bobby .

They name themselves The Bryant Sisters .
Just as her life is getting back on track, Bella finds herself pregnant - and Earl reveals a shattering secret that changes everything about their future. Devastated, she flees home to Liverpool, but as an unmarried mother, will her family reject her? And, as she faces a terrible sacrifice, will she ever sing with The Bryant Sisters again?
