The Kiss Before Morning

The Kiss Before Morning was a boat. An old, worn out and obsolete fishing boat of a type known locally as a Smack. Now superseded by steam and diesel powered craft she was lying in a river waiting to die when an assorted band of kids escaping the fears and traumas of wartime took her to their hearts and, as their various tragedies unfolded, gave her new life and set their course with her that would ultimately take them with the winds of war to Dunkirk.
