Random House presents the unabridged, downloadable audiobook edition of Ambulance Girls by Deborah Burrows, read by Penelope Freeman.

On duty during London's Blitz...

Aided – and sometimes hindered – by David’s school friend, a mysterious and attractive RAF pilot, Lily has to draw on all of her resources to find David, and negotiate the dangers that come from falling in love in a country far from home in a time of war…
