Whatever It Takes. A moving saga of life after the war

She's waited five hard years for her husband to return from the war - but is he still the man she married?

But with the love and encouragement of her family and friends, Kay is determined that whatever it takes she will bring out the Bob with whom she first fell in love and forge the future that they had envisaged before the war wreaked its havoc.
