A young disabled girl and her brother are evacuated from London to the English countryside during World War II, where they find life to be much sweeter away from their abusive mother
Questa serie racconta le vite di bambini che affrontano le sfide della Seconda Guerra Mondiale, costretti a lasciare le proprie case e a scoprire una resilienza che non credevano di possedere. Lanciati in circostanze sconosciute, stringono legami inaspettati e affrontano le avversità con crescente coraggio. È un'esplorazione toccante della sopravvivenza, della scoperta del proprio valore e del profondo impatto della famiglia scelta durante la guerra. Le narrazioni catturano magnificamente temi di speranza, appartenenza e lo spirito umano duraturo sullo sfondo del tumulto storico.

When Ada's clubfoot is surgically fixed at last, she knows for certain that she's not what her mother said she was - crippled in her mind as well as in her body. But who is she, she wonders? Ada and her brother, Jamie, are living with their guardian, Susan, in a cottage in the English countryside, on the estate of the formidable Lady Thorton and her daughter, Maggie, Ada's dearest friend. Life in the crowded cottage is tense. Then Ruth, a Jewish girl from Germany, moves in. A German? Everyone is horrified. Ada must decide - where do her loyalties lie?
