Description

Return to Burracombe in this heart-warming prequel to Lilian Harry's series. Devon, 1943, is a time of great change and challenge for the village of Burracombe. As the war effort requires everyone's contribution, the villagers come together to support each other. When the Barton is requisitioned as a children's home for war orphans, the community rallies round to welcome their newest arrivals. For Maddy Simmons, one of these young orphans, life is particularly difficult. Still reeling from losing her mother and brother in the Plymouth blitz, and her father being killed at sea, she finds herself in a new and unfamiliar place. As she explores the village and makes new friends, Maddy begins to feel a sense of belonging and hope for a brighter future. This story offers a different perspective on the village as it adapts to the struggles of wartime, exploring the experiences of one much-loved character in the Burracombe series.
