Summary

England, 1941. After her husband died fighting for their country, Winnie is heartbroken, reeling, and suddenly solely responsible for the struggling family pub. With nothing else to focus on, she pours her heart and soul into her work, trying desperately to keep afloat. When news arrives of a ten-year-old girl who lost her mother and siblings in the Blitz, Winnie is unsure if she can help. She knows little Francine is alone and in need of a home, but she doesn't know how much love she has to offer. But there is nowhere else for Francine to go, and Winnie can't bear to think of her without a family. Caring for a little girl as the war rages and resources run low takes all of Winnie's energy. But little Francine is full of ideas to help keep the pub open, and as her cheeky sense of humour and infectious giggle breathe life back into Winnie's world, Winnie's heart opens to the possibility of love.
