Michelle (Australia) (2010/06/19):
From the back cover:
Goldenhaired, sunny natured Amy is the apple of her mother's eye, youngest and dearest of Annie Flanagan's lively brood of 13 children. With the outbreak of WW2 the Flanagan family is shaken from their crowded nest in London's East End. Joe is soon made a sargeant, fighting in France. Billy volunteers for the Army Transports, young Dan fulfils his dreams & joins the RAF. The young ones are evacuated from the war-torn capital to Devon and the boys to a school in the Midlands they reckon is worse than Colditz. The war brings tragedy - even the old house is in ruins, bombed and shell splintered.
It's Amy, with her fierce courage and determination, who pulls the family back together. Then Sparky, full of wicked charm and Cockney banter, walks into her life and wins her heart, Turbulent happy years follow; times of great joy for Amy and times of bitter heart-rending when strong family ties war against the needs of herfeckless husband...
