Book description
It is 1940 and Staff Nurse Polly Brown has been granted a posting at

had to part with their beloved five-year-old daughter, Alice, who is
travelling to safety in Canada.
Polly's heart is torn in two as she says goodbye to Alice and heads
to the Beach View boarding house in Cliffehaven, where she throws
herself into her work.
But as she confronts the fact that Adam may not survive his
injuries, a telegram arrives at Beach View. The boat Alice was on has
been torpedoed by a German U-boat...
Ellie Dean lives in Eastbourne, which has been her home for many
years and where she raised her three children. She is also the author of
