Summary

From nights spent sheltering together in the Underground station to sharing gossip, pastimes and meals, they lean on each other as their world is turned upside down. Since the bombing of her family's boarding house, Charity has held her loved ones together, and now, with her heart set on becoming a 'sugar girl' working for Tate & Lyle, she's determined to forge a new path, despite prejudice about her relationship with the Indian soldier she loves. Her best friend Divya serves up warmth and spice in her beloved curry house, but is hiding a secret that grows more urgent with each passing day. What will happen when it is revealed? Ruth is a newcomer, recently arrived from war-torn Europe and haunted by the atrocities she's experienced. On West India Dock Road she finds not just refuge but an unlikely family. As heartache affects them all and bonds are tested, can these three women find hope and happiness, even in the darkest of times?
