England 1944 As I look around the childhood room I used to share with my twin brother Ed I realize just how much the war has taken from us already Ed was never the same after he helped our father in the Dunkirk rescue Clutching his callup letter in my hands I know that Ed has fled leaving behind his family and all he has ever known But I know that if Ed fails to accept his callup then he will be found and imprisoned Im his sister and Ill do whatever it takes to protect him As I step into his overcoat and study myself in the mirror I realize there might just be a way to save him if only I can find the courage to do it Arriving at the call up Im told that Im to become a Bevin boy one of the many men called to work in the mines and power the country through the war I hesitate unsure if I can really take on such difficult work whilst my friends become land girls and nurses But my brother and my country need me and in that moment I vow to do whatever it takes As I adapt to my new life I meet a young man named Peter and as we grow closer I realize that I am slowly losing my heart to him But I know the risks if the secret of who I really am is ever revealed How much am I prepared to sacrifice for the ones I love the most Perfect for fans of The Alice Network The Nightingale and Rhys Bowen this completely gripping and heartbreaking story of love courage and a sisters sacrifice shines a light on the forgotten heroes of World War Two
