Newlyweds Ruby and Jimmy Hawkins are sure their love will survive the trauma and tragedy of war. Amid the desperate battles raging in Gallipoli, Jimmy dreams of the future they planned together. In Sydney, Ruby reads his romantic letters full of love and longing.

And as the lives of those around her begin to shatter, Ruby must change if she is to truly find her way. Is she still the same woman Jimmy fell in love with?

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
We loved this tenderhearted historical romance about a young newlywed couple tested by the events of World War I. After a whirlwind courtship, Ruby marries Jimmy Hawkins. After a quick honeymoon, Jimmy ships overseas and Ruby gets a job at a Sydney timber yard, where she slowly finds her footing in a man’s world. Prolific Australian writer Pamela Hart makes the details of daily life shimmer and pierces our hearts with a love story that carries the weight of sacrifice and the joy of true partnership.
