Amidst the trauma and the tragedy of the Blitz, Sally Fuller realises she must take responsibility for her own future
Description
Though she is still grieving the death of her mother, nineteen-year-old Sally Fuller has little choice but to carry on with the everyday business of life in 1930s Rotherhithe, caring for her father and young brother and sister, spending as much time with her boyfriend Pete as he can spare from his moneymaking schemes.
