It’s the fall of 1942, and the Second World War rages on. The skies above Britain and the oceans around her are a battleground: German bombers target cities like Liverpool and Crewe, while U-Boats and warships prowl the waters between England and France. Ten-year-old Evelyn Jackson and her parents live on rations, waiting for the sounds of the air-raid sirens above them and wondering what will come of their far-flung family in times of war. Eve stands tall, through bombings and evacuations, through an unfair beating and a paralyzing illness, and survives with her smile and her generous heart still intact. Meanwhile, one of her uncles—Submariner Dominic King—serves aboard HMS Tuna. Dominic, the boats Helmsman and along with the crew were under constant threat of German U-Boats and aircraft as they complete their ever-demanding war patrols. From delivering Marine Commandos off the coast of France to protecting the Arctic Convoys in the north Atlantic. Acting Leading Seaman Dominic King would go on to be awarded the Distinguished Service Medal by King George VI at Buckingham Palace for his bravery and courage while under fire.
