From this day forward - when Evie uttered those words, they were about day-to-day survival in the midst of a world war. How could she have envisaged the future that lay ahead with her Kiwi soldier after the war? A future of triumph and tragedy, heaven and hell - and hiraeth for her Welsh homeland that would last as long as she lived. Based on the true story of author Patricia Fenton's parents-in-law, this engrossing novel explores the reality of life in post-war New Zealand, both for the locals and the newly arrived war brides.
