Summary

An emotional and compelling novel from the bestselling author

Will their new lives bring happiness, or heartache?

As the Blitz casts a dark shadow over London, Julie Miller, a teenaged orphan, is sent far away to keep her safe. Hoping this will be a new chapter after years of sadness, Julie voyages by ship across the Atlantic, and on the long passage, forges a bond with a young child called Beth, both of them dreaming of their new families and the happy like that awaits them.

Upon arrival, Julie quickly realises that reaching their destination is just the start of their journey, with many hardships for the orphans. But taking matters into her own hands, Julie is determined that she and Beth will have their happy ending…

Story 1 - Narration 0

Cathy Sharp writes a good story and I have listened to several narrated by Antonia Beamish. This one though I found her narration poor, with pauses in the wrong places and an unconvincing attempt at the Canadian accent and slow drawl. I continued because from the first page I was drawn to the storyline.
