1915, London: Shaking, she opens the door and her heart races as the young boy on the steps holds out the telegram. The words swim before her. This can't be happening. Nothing will ever be the same again. 1943, London: Elizabeth rushes out down the steps of her town house in her army uniform, daydreaming of her handsome fiancé posted miles away in the RAF. Not looking where she's going, Elizabeth collides with a tall man in the middle of the street. This chance meeting will change everything Elizabeth thought she knew about herself. 1960, London: Violet wipes the dust from an antique writing desk, not expecting to find a hidden compartment, or the old diaries nestled inside. A story unfolds of a family devastated by two world wars and a man who risked his life for freedom and for love. It leads her to discover a telegram that will finally unlock a decades-old family secret.
