It’s easier for Cara Hargraves to bury herself before than to confront the present, which explains why working for a gruff but amazing antiques dealer is ideal. While clearing out an estate, she pries open an old tin that keeps the about The Light Over London relics of a lost relationship: an unfinished diary from World Battle II and an image of a young woman in standard. Captivated with the hauntingly beautiful diary, Cara starts her search for the author, hardly ever guessing that it could reveal her own family members’s wartime secrets.

In 1941, nineteen-year-old Louise Keene feels stuck in her Cornish town, looking forward to a wealthy suitor her mom has chosen on her behalf to return in the war. However when Louise meets Trip Lieutenant Paul Bolton, a dashing RAF pilot stationed at an area base, everything changes. And changes once again when Paul’s unit is deployed without warning.

Desperate for a more substantial existence, Louise joins the females’s auxiliary branch from the British Army in the anti-aircraft gun device as a gunner female. As bombs fall on London, she as well as the various other gunner girls display their bravery and resilience while executing their duties during deadly atmosphere raids. The only thing that gets Louise through those dark, bullet-filled evenings is understanding that she and Paul will be together when the battle is over. However when a bundle of her words to him are returned unopened, she learns that wartime romance can have a much darker side.
