Natalie English, 24, is ecstatic - she's just got a new job. It's a good job, exactly what she has trained for. Her company boss is a young and handsome single man, except that his family and Natalie's have never got on. Not since - well, a long time ago. She finds a box of letters, which begin to uncover some unexplained events in France during the First World War. When her boss's father plans a World War I Centenary Remembrance Parade, why does it nearly cause more casualties than the original battle? Is the pretty engagement ring she finds in one of the boxes the answer, or is it another problem? Who started the fire in the maintenance shed? Will she be able to save the company and her job? And what's the link between a lorry driver, her boss's granny and some old photos of Kingsbridge? Only Natalie can unravel the mystery, clear her family's name, keep her job, save the town from itself and marry her man before the truth is lost again - this time for ever.
