For nurse Jenny Hallam, there's no such thing as a quiet day (or night) at work. But even with WWII rumbling away, Jenny still has time, patience and kindness for everyone she treats, with plenty to spare for her two young children at home.
From his sickbed, handsome but shy Pilot Officer Will Rose has noticed Jenny's gentle ways. When the two of them spark up a conversation, a friendship blossoms that brings out a new hope in them both.
Friendship is all their connection can be for now - but nothing stays the same in the war... What might happen if they were to meet again?
This is the perfect introduction to Cathy Bramley's stories or a lovely treat for longtime fans. Also includes a gorgeous taster of her upcoming novel, A Patchwork Family!

Cathy Bramley is the Sunday Times bestselling author of eighteen novels and has sold almost two million copies worldwide. She has been a lover of stories since she was a small child and used to beg her mother to take her to the library every week for new books. Many of her passions have come and gone over the years, but her love for story, drama and romance will last a lifetime. Cathy's books are about people she would want to be friends with, characters her readers will cheer for. They are about ordinary women doing extraordinary things. Cathy has two grown-up daughters and lives in a small village in the English countryside. Her house overlooks fields of barley and the garden is full of fruit trees: damson, plum, pear and, of course, Bramley apples!
