Description
London, 1940. A young schoolteacher named Ruth helps evacuate children from war-torn England to Australia and New Zealand. On their perilous voyage, she forms a bond with a troubled nine-year-old boy, Fergus, and grapples with her feelings for Bobby, a charismatic fellow volunteer. Tragedy strikes when their returning ship is attacked by German raiders. The survivors are taken prisoner, and to the rest of the world, they are missing, presumed dead. Years later, in 2005, Hazel boards a plane to London, carrying a treasured book from her grandfather, Fergus. This book holds Ruth's story, which will finally be revealed. A heart-wrenching tale of love, loss and resilience, this story will stay with you long after you turn the final page.
