Elizabeth Killington, recently widowed at age 27, flies to England to claim her late husband, Lord Horace Killington’s estate. She finds she not only owns a grand manor house in the country, but also the “crowds of people” who made Lord Killington avoid home for many years. As she meets and recognizes characters from her favorites books, and some she never heard of, she learns a wonderful secret from her lady’s maid, Bridget. Is it possible that all stories can have a happy-ever-after ending?

For the desperate father of a small family in Leningrad, escape to Germany could not be any worse than the certainty of starvation in they did nothing. Even if caught and imprisoned, he believes they will at least have food and not freeze to death. The only comfort for his daughter, 14-year-old Elena, is that she can take her "piano" with her, a cloth facsimile of a keyboard sewn for her by her grandmother so she could practice after her own piano was destroyed in the bombing.
