"A Phyllis Bruce book".

Gwen Davis, a 35-year old plain woman, leaves her beloved London at the beginning of World War II for the countryside. She's lived a lonely and loveless life, but that all changes when she volunteers for agricultural work at a neglected estate. There she meets Jane and Raley, and her love for both of them makes her life blossom as well as the garden she tends.
