Ten-year-old Ada has spent her entire life confined to her London apartment, her clubfoot a source of shame for her mother. When her younger brother is evacuated from the city during the Blitz, Ada seizes the opportunity to escape too, embarking on an unexpected journey to the countryside. There, she finds herself in the care of a stern but kind woman, and begins to discover the world and herself, learning to read, ride a pony, and trust. This is a powerful story of resilience and finding family in the most unlikely circumstances, perfect for readers who love historical fiction with a strong emotional core.
