Description: Read by Julie Maisey Complete and unabridged Cliffehaven, 1944. Peggy Reilly is enjoying a rare moment alone in the garden of her Beach View Boarding House. Against the now familiar backdrop of squadrons roaring overhead, it seems both impossible that war continues, and yet inconceivable that it will ever come to an end. Meanwhile Ron Reilly is headed to his grandson's send off, ahead of the awaited Allied invasion. But when the celebrations get out of hand, Ron lands himself in hot water with his sweetheart Rosie. As much as Peggy tries to keep the peace, she can't work miracles. With family, friends and her evacuee chicks scattered across the world, the war has forever changed the lives of those she loves.
