Less than two years later, the lives of the family are turned upside down when Jersey is cut loose from British protection.

As the German Occupation tightens its grip on life on the island, Tom and Rose are torn apart in a situation of unimaginable heartbreak, which calls for the greatest of courage, and a powerful determination to survive.
