Two powerful families. A changing world.

'Hourican expertly weaves her elegant fictional magic' THE GLOSS

London, 1943: Boston-native Kathleen 'Kick' Kennedy has returned to the city she loves, hoping to reunite with Billy
Cavendish, the man she wishes to marry. But with their parents forbidding the match, London a shell of its former
self following the Blitz, and Billy facing constant danger as an officer in the British Army, their future together looks
anything but certain.

Kick's friend Lady Brigid Guinness has swapped high fashion and exclusive dinner parties for long shifts as a nurse helping wounded soldiers. And, in secret, she writes letters to a man shunned by her inner circle.

Meanwhile, wide-eyed Sissy Maddington has arrived from Ireland to visit the Guinness family, eager to explore
everything London seems to offer, and hoping never to return home.

As the three young women navigate an ever-changing city, they find themselves less sure than ever of what tomorrow will bring. Is the key to happiness leaving behind the worlds they came from, and the people in them? Or is happiness even possible, with all that lies ahead?
