Dennis L. Carstens has lived most of his life in the Upper Midwest area of America in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. He tries to write a story that is thought-provoking, entertaining, and has an overarching theme that is contemporary. He has always been a student of twentieth-century history and an admirer of the British people. His books normally contain a larger than normal number of characters that he uses to tell the story through their actions and dialog. He is not a big fan of novels that are page after page of third-person narration.
This novel is a fictionalized account of the lives of two people during the World War II Battle of Britain and the bombing campaign by the German Luftwaffe during what came to be known as the London Blitz. They are an American named Jeffrey Bartlett and a British woman named Catherine Hartley.
