War is coming! Britain struggles to prepare. Krista begins naval training with women determined to 'do their bit' for their country. The negative attitude of the naval men forces the women to close ranks. They are determined to succeed.
When Krista's friend Perry appears on the base, Krista is pleased to see a friendly face but comes in for a great deal of teasing from the other women. Imagine, her friend is an admiral's son!
On an evening out with Perry, Krista is shocked to find the man she was raised to believe was her brother, Philippe Dumas, working as a chef. What is he doing in England?
The world around Krista is constantly changing and all she can do is try to survive the shocks and surprises ahead of her. She has a duty to perform.
