But with the outbreak of war, and the heartbreaking news that her cousin has been killed by German forces, that goal is supplanted by another – to support France in any way she can. Ruth joins a friend in enlisting as a driver for the French ambulance corps. On their way to transfer injured soldiers to Dunkirk for evacuation, they encounter Jimmie, a British Royal Air Force pilot with No. 73 Squadron RAF. As Dunkirk falls, word spreads of a daring Allied plan to rescue the remaining troops and civilians from ports in western France – code name Operation Aerial. Over two hazardous weeks, Ruth and Jimmie will journey hundreds of miles together, helping other refugees as they rush to reach the sea before they are overtaken by the Germany army. But all their courage and resilience offer no certainty in wartime, when a single stroke of luck, or a split-second decision, can mean the difference between life and death ...
