Book excerpt: One family will do whatever it takes to save all that they hold dear—a World War II saga of survival and hope from “a writer of great skill and vitality” (Sarah Harrison, international bestselling author). Summer 1936: A sunny day in Kent, a perfect afternoon for a garden party, and everything seems right in the tranquil and ordered world of the Jordan family. But before the day is out that peace is shattered due to a war being fought in a country not their own. Summer 1940: London is at war, and for the first time in the history of combat a civilian population is under attack from the air. As a consequence—also for the first time—a generation of young men is called upon to face the enemy not from within an organized force on land or on sea but in individual and lethal combat in the skies above the green, fertile and until now peaceful fields of southern England . . .
