BEFORE THE DAWN
(prev: "Far From You")
When everything you hold dear is torn apart by war, can love put you back together again?
It's 1943, and the Second World War is raging. 18-year-old Ruby Mottram works for her local newspaper, the Bartonford Herald, sharing an office with glamorous best friend Vera. She dreams of an exciting life, but reality is typing up adverts and obituaries, her shifts as an ARP warden and caring for her ailing father, a doctor who was injured in the last war.
Meanwhile, in America's deep south, Sam Archer, 17, is hatching a plan to raise enough money to get his mother and younger sister Meggie away from his abusive stepfather, Kirk. Using falsified documents, he lies about his age to enlist with the U.S. Army. A few months later, he's on his way to England with the 116th Infantry Division to train for the allied invasion of France.
Two chance encounters bring Ruby and Sam together from opposite sides of the Atlantic, giving them the chance of love, hope and freedom from their troubled lives. But fate, in the shape of D-Day and Omaha Beach, has other ideas. Can Ruby and Sam find a way through - and find each other again?
