This sequel to The War That Saved My Life sees Ada's club foot finally corrected and she, younger brother Jamie, and guardian Susan back in their village. Throughout many WWII English homefront events, both mundane and dramatic, runs the thread of Ada's emotional healing as she grows into the young woman she wants to be. Bradley raises hard questions and makes us think--even as she moves us to tears.
