As Britain stands alone against a monstrous enemy, the inhabitants of Pearl Street face hardship and heartbreak with courage and humor. The war touches each of them in a different way: for Annie Poulson, a widow, it means neverending worry when her twin boys are called up and sent to France, and Sheila Reilly's husband, Cal, faces the terror of U-Boat attack. And Jessica Fleming, down on her luck, is forced to return to the street she'd hoped never to see again.
