An emotional and heart-warming portrayal of the lives of four women living in wartime London.

For the girls living at No.13 Article Row, the war years have never been tougher...

Tilly is heartbroken when Drew, the love of her life, returns to America and doesn't come back. Tilly can't believe that he would break their solemn promise to love each other for ever. Olive. Tilly's mother, knows the real reason that he has never been in touch but fears the truth will hurt her daughter even more.

For Tilly's friends, Agnes and Sally, the war has also dealt them a cruel hand and, along with the rest of the country, they have had their share of pain. But they say that it is always darkest just before the dawn, so could it be that this war, and the girl's fortunes, are finally beginning to turn?

"They vowed to love one another forever - but promises are hard to keep..." --Cover.
