Description
Don't miss the brand new emotional WW2 evacuee tale from the author of An Orphan's Story and The Lost Evacuee…
Finding a place of safety is just the start of his journey…
When Georgie Greene is evacuated to the English countryside to keep him safe from the London Blitz, he can’t think of anything worse than leaving his family behind to face the nightly bombings.
With her little brother safe from the air raids, his sister, schoolteacher Kate, prays for a brighter future, but in a time of war, tragedy is never far away.
Faced with uncertainty and heartache at every turn, Georgie and Kate must find the courage to carry on without each other. Can they be strong and keep their hopes alive of being a family once again?
