Frankie didn't always have it easy. Growing up motherless, she was raised by her grandmother, who loved her - and betrayed her. For years, the rift between them seemed irreparable.

There is a darkness in her past that won't stay buried - secrets going back to wartime that may have a devastating effect on Frankie's own life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eSomerset, 1940. \u003c\/i\u003eWhen seventeen-year-old Violet's life is ripped apart by the London Blitz, she runs away to join the Women's Land Army.
