Cette série retrace la vie d'enfants confrontés aux défis de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, forcés de quitter leurs foyers et de découvrir une résilience qu'ils ignoraient posséder. Jetés dans des circonstances inconnues, ils nouent des liens inattendus et affrontent l'adversité avec un courage croissant. C'est une exploration émouvante de la survie, de la découverte de sa propre valeur et de l'impact profond de la famille choisie en temps de guerre. Les récits capturent magnifiquement des thèmes d'espoir, d'appartenance et l'esprit humain durable sur fond de bouleversements historiques.


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
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?
