About the book

It's October 1940. As the bombs reign down on the residents of Islington, 18 year old Beth Shanks knows she must keep her chin up. With her Dad away fighting, it's up to Beth to help support the family, even though she and her mother don't always see eye-to-eye. Always fun-loving, Beth is known as the "firecracker" at the munitions factory where she works alongside her boyfriend, Irish lad Thomas Sullivan. But Thomas faces suspicion when rumours break that an Irish naitonal has been spying for the Germans. When a heavy air raid forces Beth and her family into a public shelter, Beth lifts everyone's spirits by belting out old favourites on an abandoned piano. Connie finally sees the joy her daughter's music can bring, but she is unaware that it will one day save their lives.
