HTML:<b>A Most Anticipated Book by Real Simple ∙ SheReads&#160;∙ BookBub ∙ and more!<br /> Inspired by a remarkable true story, a young teacher evacuates children to safety across perilous waters,&#160;in a moving and triumphant new novel from <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author Hazel Gaynor.</b><br /> &#160;<br /> <i>1940, Kent</i>: Alice King is not brave or daring—she’s happiest finding adventure through the safe pages of books. But times of war demand courage, and as the threat of German invasion looms, a plane crash near her home awakens a strength in Alice she’d long forgotten. Determined to do her part, she finds a role perfectly suited to her experience as a schoolteacher—to help evacuate Britain’s children overseas.<br /> &#160;<br /> <i>1940, London</i>: Lily Nichols once dreamed of using her mathematical talents for more than tabulating the cost of groceries, but life, and love, charted her a different course. With two lively children and a loving husband, Lily’s humble home is her world, until war tears everything asunder. With her husband gone and bombs raining down, Lily is faced with an impossible choice: keep her son and daughter close, knowing she may not be able to protect them, or enroll them in a risky evacuation scheme, where safety awaits so very far away.<br /> &#160;<br /> When a Nazi U-boat torpedoes the <i>S. S. Carlisle</i> carrying a ship of children to Canada, a single lifeboat is left adrift in the storm-tossed Atlantic. Alice and Lily, strangers to each other—one on land, the other at sea—will quickly become one another’s very best hope&#160;as their lives are fatefully entwined. Historical Fiction. Literature.
