Description
Staff Nurse Polly Brown has been forced to make a heart-wrenching decision: to care for her injured husband, Jack, at a hospital on the south coast, while her five-year-old daughter, Alice, travels to safety in Canada. As she says goodbye to Alice, Polly's thoughts are filled with sadness and uncertainty. Polly's new life at the Beach View Boarding House is complicated by her friendship with Danuta, a young Polish woman who has lost her family in the war. Danuta's nursing skills are overlooked by the hospital's matron, forcing her to work as a domestic. Meanwhile, Polly struggles to come to terms with the possibility that Jack may not survive his injuries. A telegram arrives at Beach View, bringing devastating news: the boat Alice was on has been torpedoed by a German U-boat.
