Where the Sky Begins: A Novel

London, 1940. Josie Banks's world is devastated by bombing—her home destroyed, her job lost, and her husband Stan away at war. Evacuated to the English countryside, she finds herself at the estate of Miss Harcourt, an aristocrat reluctant to host Blitz survivors. Seeing an opportunity for renewal, Josie persuades Miss Harcourt to allow her to open a tea shop on the grounds. There she meets Mike Johnson, a Canadian pilot stationed at a nearby bomber base. Their growing connection brings Josie a sense of peace she has never experienced. When Stan returns from the war, circumstances shift dramatically. A dangerous secret emerges that threatens to overturn Josie's life once more. She must draw on her newfound courage to navigate the challenges ahead and determine her own path forward.
