Ruby and Jimmy Hawkins are sure their love will survive the trauma of war. Amid the desperate battles of the Dardanelles, Jimmy dreams of the future they planned together; in Sydney, Ruby reads his letters full of love and longing. But as weeks slip into months Ruby must forge her own new life to survive.
When she takes a job as a bookkeeper at an inner-city timber merchant's yard, she is thrown into a man's world fraught with complications. Just as Ruby starts to find her way, the lives of those around her begin to shatter and she faces her biggest battle yet.
