Description
A thirteen-year-old refugee living in London finds happiness for the first time since leaving her war-torn home. However, when her foster mother announces that she will be moving to a new family, Aisha packs her bags and runs away, seeking shelter in the nearby woods. In a different part of town, a twelve-year-old boy is struggling to cope with his parents' divorce. He discovers an old air-raid shelter in the woods while researching the history behind his home, where he meets another lost child who has also found refuge among the trees. As they come into contact with Elder, a strange homeless woman living amongst the trees, unexpected bonds are formed and lives changed forever. As helicopters hover overhead and newspapers fill with pictures of the two lost children, their paths converge in a heart-wrenching story of hope, connection, and transformation.
