A first-person account of a young English girl and her family living and working during WWII, enduring what seems an eternity of living with frightening bomb raids, sleeping under a table, and watching London burn. Even in the midst of war, love can be found. Twenty-two-year-old Joy meets and marries American soldier, Carl Beebe, who is stationed with the US Army Signal Corps at Bletchley Park. With the end of the war, they leave Britain--and all Joy ever knew--behind. Traveling first by troop ship, then by train, the couple arrives in Salem, Oregon with $10 to their name and a two-year-old son to begin their life in America
