WILL SHE FIND LOVE WITH THE MAN SHE'S SET HER HEART ON?

Despite the incredible pressure, and the imminent danger, it is Sally Barnes who preoccupies David Turner's thoughts whilst on a bombing mission over Germany.

Deaf since childhood, Sally is young and vulnerable and David wishes he could be with her to protect her from the horrors of war.

But to Sally, David is just the boy from down the road. It is Lee, the young carefree American airman, who has won her heart.

Will fate be kind and allow her to find happiness amidst the trials and tribulations of a world at war?
