[Beach View Boarding House/Cliffehaven 14] • With a Kiss and a Prayer

Cliffehaven, May 1944

Peggy Reilly is enjoying a rare moment alone in the garden of her Beach View Boarding House. Against the now familiar backdrop of squadrons roaring overhead and the wireless humming, it seems both impossible that war continues, and yet inconceivable that it will ever come to an end.

Meanwhile Ron Reilly is headed to his grandson’s send off, ahead of the awaited Allied invasion. But when the celebrations get out of hand, Ron lands himself in hot water with his sweetheart Rosie. And this time his Irish charm won’t be enough to get him off the hook.

And as much as Peggy tries to keep the peace in Cliffehaven, she can’t work miracles. With family, friends and her evacuee chicks scattered across the world, the war has forever changed the lives of those she loves. It will take a strong spirit to ensure that love triumphs over the heartache around them.
