*******************************************************************************
AS BOMBS CONTINUE TO FALL ON LONDON, WILL SHE BE ABLE TO FIND HAPPINESS?

1941: Like anyone else in London during the war, Rita Johnson never knows whether her house on Trinidad Street will still be there when she gets home. Times are uncertain and unsettling, yet one thing remains constant - the interlocking loyalties of the families and their friends who live on the street.

The bombing of London brings the best in the residents: courage and devotion, and the stubborn resistance needed to cock a snoop at Hitler.

Yet amidst all of this 'Blitz-spirit', Rita feels like something is missing - trapped in a loveless marriage, she yearns for more. So when she meets RAF navigator Jack Wilkinson, walking arm in arm with her sister Lily, she falls for him, head over heels.

But he is a man she cannot love - will she be able to find a way forward?
