The Summer of 1939

By Sarah Ansell

Hetty has always been shy, content with the love of her parents and the laughter of her two best friends. But on her birthday, everything changes when she finally finds the courage to speak to George, the gentle farm hand she has secretly adored for so long.

As their romance blossoms, the world darkens. War is declared, and George joins the Royal Air Force, leaving Hetty behind with only letters and hope. Surrounded by friendship and family, she waits-but the question hangs heavy over every day: will George return to her, or will the war steal him away forever?

A moving tale of first love, friendship, and resilience in the face of war.
