The city turned into a deadly inferno, as terrified citizens huddled in air raid shelters.After weeks of the raids, Mary Elizabeth O'Neill became quiet and withdrawn, which caused her parents to worry.

Only Jenny Monroe's friendship saved her.Both friends left the farm at 18 and joined the Women's Auxiliary Air Force. Katie would marry an RAF pilot. Jane would marry an American.
