Publisher's Synopsis
The road to happiness is never easy... It's 1939 when Hannah and Louie Adams leave London for the safety of the Hertfordshire countryside. The girls try to settle in with their new foster-parents, but the Bullocks are stern people, and when they send the homesick Louie to another family, the Beedles, Hannah is devastated. At least Louie is happy with the Beedles, but Hannah decides there's only one way out - she must walk back to Blitz-torn Islington. Thirty-six hours later, a cold, weary and frightened girl arrives home to a shocking sight... Now Hannah must fight not only for survival, but also to stop a secret from destroying her family...
