by Robbie James Slaughter

Condition is As new

In his impoverished but happy rural existence in the backwoods of Virginia, the hardworking and reliable young Dalton dreamt of earning enough money to buy his own farm. However by dint of circumstance, he was destined to take part in one of the most iconic events of the 20th century - being amongst the first US servicemen to land on Omaha Beach, June 6 1944.

Far away from Virginia, in metropolitan London, the teenage Hetty was the envy of all with her attractive looks and personality, successful job and her pick of dance partners.

Little did Hetty and Dalton know that their paths would cross, throwing their plans for the future into turmoil.

In this compelling book we are privileged to share the thoughts, hopes and anguish of two young people as they are caught up in the chaos and brutality of war. Can they overcome the many obstacles in their path and will their love survive?
