Description
At the start of World War II, two young evacuees make an impulsive decision that changes their lives forever. Marjorie Malcolm Scott trades places with Shona McInnes, taking her name and belongings in exchange for a new life.
As Marjorie settles into her new life as Shona, she inherits a battered suitcase containing the orphan's few possessions, including an oil painting of a large Victorian house. With this small clue to her past, Marjorie must navigate the challenges of war and find a way to uncover the truth about who she really is.
As the years pass, Marjorie's life as Shona becomes happy in ways it never was before, but the question of her identity remains. When the war finally ends, Marjorie sets out on a journey to search for the real Shona and settle the mystery of her past.
