In the summer of 1940, ambitious American journalist Ruby Sutton gets her big break: the chance to report on the European war as a writer for Picture Weekly newsmagazine in London. It's an opportunity to prove herself and start fresh in a city that knows nothing of her humble origins. But life in Britain tests Ruby in ways she never imagined. Although most of Ruby's colleagues welcome her, a few resent her presence, as an American and a woman. Just as she's beginning to feel at home in a country that is so familiar yet so foreign, the bombs begin to fall. As the horror of the Blitz stretches unbroken into months, Ruby tries to remain an objective observer. When she loses everything and must depend upon the kindness of strangers, she learns the depth of true friendship?and what it is to love a man who is burdened by secrets.
