Description

This heart-wrenching story of triumph against all odds is set during World War II. Ten-year-old Ada has never left her one-room apartment due to her twisted foot, but when her brother Jamie is shipped out of London, she decides to take a risk and join him.

Ada's journey with Susan Smith, the woman who takes the two children in, is a poignant tale of family, identity, and trust. As Ada learns to ride a pony, read, and watch for German spies, she begins to form a bond with Susan that will be tested by the harsh realities of wartime.

Will their bond be enough to hold them together through the challenges they face? This moving story is a powerful exploration of the human spirit, beautifully written and emotionally charged.
