The chilling days of WWII brought shy young Elizabeth White to Kilgarret, Ireland to live with the wild O'Connor family. It was here that she met Aisling O'Connor, the girl destined to become her best friend. They shared a room in the rollicking O'Connor house and they quickly shared their hearts. Theirs was a friendship that would endure through years of chaos and change, joy and sorrow, soaring dreams and searing betrayals. Nothing could tear their friendship asunder, not even the man who threatened to come between them forever.
