Description

Billie Challinor's life is forever changed when her mother dies during an air raid. Her father, Chas, a jazz musician, becomes her rock, and she grows up confident in his love. When the Blitz forces them to flee London, they find refuge with kindly landlady Liz Morris in Leeds. As war rages on, Billie's father joins the Army just before the D-Day landings, leaving behind a young girl who is claimed by her Uncle Cedric, an outwardly respectable solicitor. However, this man harbours a ruthless secret: he will stop at nothing to secure the fortune that belongs to his niece, Billie. Despite being trapped in a desperate game of survival, Billie remains resourceful and quick-witted, determined to escape her uncle's deadly clutches and return to the loving care of Aunt Liz.
