  In dramatic circumstances in World War ll, Laura Terrington, a QA nurse, is caught up in the 1940 evacuation from Dunkirk. On her ambulance train, she meets wounded Christopher Leybourne and they have a whirlwind romance when he later seeks her out in London. They marry just before she sets off on her next mission, but when she returns a year later, there is no news of him. She decides to seek out his family in North Yorkshire, only to clash with his brother Nicholas. Emotions become entangled in the following years of the war, with Laura sent off to Sierra Leone, Christopher killed at El Alamein and Nicholas made prisoner by the Japanese in Burma. This is a story of war, but it holds all the elements of courage, heartbreak, misunderstandings, love and finally, happiness for Laura.
