"London is on fire from the Blitz, and gardener Gwen Davis has fled the devastated city for the Devon countryside. She volunteers for the Women's Land Army, an organization devoted to growing crops for the war effort. Shy and solitary, she is placed in charge of a disparate group of young women to revitalize the vegetable gardens at a beautiful but long-neglected estate where the grounds have fallen into ruin. Also on the estate, waiting to be posted to the front, is a regiment of Canadian soldiers.".

"For three months, the young women and men form attachments, living in a temporary rural escape. No one will be more changed by the stay than Gwen. She falls in love with a soldier, finds her first deep friendship, and brings a hidden garden, created for a great love, back to life. While doing so, she finally comes to know herself and a life worth living."--BOOK JACKET.
