This... The Last Lifeboat became for me a story which more than took hold of my attention, my emotions. My heart was struck!

1940 in Kent, Alice is a bookworm who loves adventure fulfilled stories. A plane crashes near her home and she wants to do her part as Germany invades her homeland. She starts the process of evacuating British children to safety.

Meanwhile in London Lily has a home and children, but when her husband gone she makes a decision about her children hoping they will be safer.

After a brutal attack of a ship carrying children leaves only one lifeboat, these women’s life’s will intersect to keep these children safe.

The author's crafting of a unique element, based on fact, within a time in history during World War II, the evacuation of Britain's children, is nothing short of breathtaking, startling, and wondrous!
