For Renee Rushmore, the arrival of war brings some much-needed freedom. Her father rules the house with an iron fist and, lately, his attentions towards her have turned more sinister.
Desperate to escape him, and with men leaving for battle in their droves, she finds work on an understaffed farm, where she meets kindly lad Jimmy. She soon finds that her feelings for Jimmy go beyond friendship, but when he is called up to war, and she's thrown off the farm due to a misunderstanding, Renee is forced to return home.
Jimmy's safe return is her only hope of a happy future, but the end of the war is a long way off, and her father is getting worse.
Will she be able to survive the bombs, the separation from Jimmy and her father's cruelty?
