Summary 1918: German troops flood back from the Eastern Front for an all-out assault in France, before the Americans can join the war. The under-strength British fall back, and for the first time the real possibility of defeat comes home to a shocked nation. At the front, Bertie struggles to bring his battered battalion out safely, while at home Jessie, secretly carrying his child, knows that sooner or later she must face her family's censure. There seems little chance tha he will be able to marry her in time to save her child from being born out of wedlock ; and if he should fall in action... Emma, driving an ambulance for the FANY in the thick of the action, meets someone whose friendship begins to mean more to her than she could have believed possible ; but she knows only too well, as she unloads the hospital trains every day, what an officer's chances of survival are. At Morland Place, Teddy braves local opinion to bring German POWs to work on the land, little knowing how close to home the consequences of his decision will stike. And the terrible news arrives that Jack has been shot down. The tide of action in France turns at last, but even in retreat the Germans are formidable. There is still fierce fighting to come, death and hardship to be endured. Men are falling, each one the king of someone's heart. Only bitter courage can bring the nation through ; for the Morlands, only love, faith and compassion will keep the family safe until the longed-for days of peace...
