What to expect
England, 1948. It’s been ten years since Lola arrived from Germany as a Jewish refugee. Even now, she can’t think about the family she lost, or her heartbreak will destroy her.
Instead, Lola looks to the future: the new family she’s found working in a job she adores as an airline stewardess, and the butterflies she feels around handsome pilot Brian – though the thought of opening her heart again terrifies her. But when news of the Berlin Blockade reaches England, and the Allies decide to provide supplies to the desperate people of Berlin by air, Lola’s boss offers his fleet to the cause.
Lola is pained by the thought of putting herself in danger to help the country that took everything from her. But when she sets foot on German soil again, will confronting her past open up old wounds – or help them heal for good?
