Story
Celebrity photographer Grace Buchanan has always known that one day she'd swap her manic day job for the peace and quiet of her beloved childhood cottage, St Christopher's - she just didn't expect it to be so soon. At the reading of her mother's will, she's shocked to learn that inheriting St Christopher's hangs on one condition: Grace must drop everything for two weeks and travel the country with a mysterious stranger - war-weary Royal Marine Alasdair Finn.

It’s why she signed up to train military pilots in Hawaii when the war in Europe began. And it’s why she insists she is not interested in any dream-derailing romantic involvements, even with the disarming Lieutenant James Hart, who fast becomes a friend as treasured as the women with whom she flies. Then one fateful day, she gets caught in the air over Pearl Harbor just as the bombs begin to fall, and suddenly, nowhere feels safe.

Amazing WWII Historical Novel
What a bittersweet book taking place in Angels Cove, Cornwall. This is a historical fiction book unusually placed in three time lines. You have Juliet, Katherine and Juliets journals. The plot is so well developed with believable and interesting, likable characters. The carefully going back and forth made this book more relevant. I usually don't like bouncing back and forth in timelines but it was needed to get the feel and write this book. This book is great.you have Juliet and her amazing story is told from her point of view about the women who flew the ATA during WWII. Thewomen who could fly were trained to fly the airplanes the Britist flew as there were not enough men to do this. Katherine gets a letter from Uncle Gerald with an invite to Angel Cove. The first night she found the journal and begins to read Juliets beautiful story of love, loss, friendship and hardship. Then later to realize Juliet is still alive. This is a must listen to book with the narration done by Stephanie Beattie. Stephanie with the British accent draws you in and maintains your interest. I highly recommend this book.

If you love stories about the women pilots of WWII
I fell in love with this book and was so sorry when it concluded. Katherine and Juliette were people I would have loved had they been real...and they were so real in this book. More complexity than many of this sub-genre, this is well worth a listen or a read. Also loved Stephanie Beattie's performance.

Slow Start - Amazing Story
Took me awhile to get use to the narrator's cadence and also to get invested in the characters. Just a bit too much time spent on why she went to Angel's/Angels/Angels' Cove. But then the story "took off and I never wanted it to land". Worth your time.

One of the sweetest books I’ve ever read...
I was hooked from the opener. Ms Hudson’s way of weaving a story is captivating. I love WWII historical fiction, and she did a lovely job of bringing poignant remembrances of that time. The love story was unexpected, but lovely; nothing cloying or smarmy. I fell instantly in love with all the characters, and could have listened for endless hours to the performance.

Truly Inspirational
I cried many tears of happiness and sadness reading this book. I was immediately drawn into the characters and couldn't stop listening. The accentif the Reader was spot on, and really made me feel like I was in the story. My most favorite was:
The most beautiful woman in the room is the one with the most joy in her heart, not the fewest wrinkles on her face... wrinkles are beautiful badges of honor, they represent all the fun, laughter and tears in your life. Iron our the lines and you iron out your life, and that is something I would never do.
