In this book, she remembers her friends from the East End of London and how many of them rallied to help those less fortunate than themselves. Some children, like the author and her sister, were evacuated to the country. The author tells of her time on a farm in the West Country and how different life was for the evacuees. The author father, a firefighter, left many memories of the efforts to save buildings and their inhabitants, as the city burned night after night. Finally, the author recounts the joy of the day she met Winston Churchill as he visited the devastation and debris left in the wake of the Blitz.
