Description
It's 1921 and Ireland is at war with Britain. For Polly, the return of her brother Leo from war brings devastating news: he's changed. When violence erupts, Polly finds solace in Helen's Hope hostel in Belfast, where Catholic and Protestant girls live and work together despite the turmoil around them.
But not everyone welcomes Helen's Hope. As the hostel faces violent attacks, Polly must find a way to keep hope alive amidst the hatred that threatens to tear everything apart. This powerful story explores the complexities of family, friendship and community in the face of adversity.
