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
Táto séria sleduje osudy detí, ktoré sa počas druhej svetovej vojny snažia prežiť a nájsť si svoje miesto vo svete. Vynútené evakuácie z Londýna ich postavia do neznámeho prostredia, kde sa musia vyrovnať so stratou domova i rodiny. Príbehy sú plné nečakaných priateľstiev, objavovania vlastnej sily a odvahy tvárou v tvár nebezpečenstvu. Je to dojímavé rozprávanie o odolnosti, láske a hľadaní nového domova v ťažkých časoch.

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?
