Wait Till Summer — Grace Thompson

  As World War II evacuees pour into a coastal Welsh town, the upheaval will change lives, but hope -- and the promise of summer -- will carry them through . . .
 
In 1939, after war has been declared, evacuees begin to arrive in the small Welsh seaside town of St David's Wells. When Eirlys Price convinces her parents to take in three young children, she can't imagine it will lead to shocking family revelations which threaten all her future plans.

Now amid homesickness, local gossip, and the challenges of wartime, the community must pull together and wait until summer, when the town will come alive in all its seasonal glory . . .

The first in the Holidays at Home series, Wait Till Summer is a classic wartime saga, filled with warmth, nostalgia, and period detail, along with wonderful characters, from the author of the beloved Pendragon Island and Badgers Brooks novels.
