From Booklist
Enthusiastic, young Jess Raeburn loves the movies so much so that instead of visiting Edinburgh’s regal Princes Street Cinema, she takes a job selling matinee tickets in the box office. It’s such a joy to be there that she doesn’t even mind that she has no time to see the films she sells tickets for, not when the handsome projectionist Ben Daniel is there to talk to. But in a twist of fate Ben marries Jess’ older sister, and Jess ends up marrying Ben’s assistant, Rusty McVail. When war breaks out in Europe, Jess is forced to summon all her courage as her husband and her brother-in-law enlist in the RAF. But it is after struggling through six long years of war, once peace is declared and Rusty returns home from a POW camp, that the real test of Jess’ strength begins. Douglas offers a truthful and touching story of the sacrifices made in love and war. --Hilary Hatton
