  Rose Courtenay's wealthy parents expect her to marry a neighbour's son and then settle down in Dorset. But the outbreak of the Great War offers Rose an unlikely opportunity to escape. Longing for adventure, she trains to be a nurse and is sent to France where the stark reality of war forces her to grow up fast. And then she falls in love with a man she can never marry. As the war ends, Rose must make the most difficult choice between her family, wealth and comfort, or the man she loves. Set in rural Dorset, the East End and on the Western Front, The Morning Promise explores the meaning of courage and the enduring power of love.
