Histoire
Plymouth, 1941. As sirens blare all around, the Shawbrook family take refuge in a packed shelter. Bombs have already begun to fall through the night sky when they realize their infant son, Freddie, has been forgotten in the rush, left to sleep in his crib. Terrified, Vera, his young mother, races to find him and bring him to safety. The next morning, air-raid warden David Shawbrook returns from his watch to find the shelter pulverized, and his family seemingly all dead. Dirty footprints inside their home betray the looters who have rifled through the house.

Among them is one precious photograph of the family she has left behind. Lonely and homesick, she is adopted by a childless couple. But when the Blitz blows her new home apart, she wakes up in a hospital with no memory of who she is or where she came from. The authorities give her a new name and dispatch her to a children's home. With the war raging around her, what will become of Lisa now?

Absorbing story
I wasn’t expecting to be too excited about this book but was very pleasantly surprised. Written with warmth and detail it described the tumultuous chorus of humanity -from the darkest to the loveliest. The narration was so good that I cringed at the children’s whining! It would have been ideal if an Australian accent could have used!!? Overall, however, I enjoyed this story immensely. Thank you!

What stopped me from rating story as 5
it Is just one bad thing after another with no upsides. Emily V ending was not satisfying. No reason ever offered for what she was doing. Would have preferred a different ending for several of the characters.

Wow, what a story! It gave me tears of sadness and tears of joy too. It is one of the best Audible books that I've listened to in a long time. Anne Dover did a stellar job at narration. I was so impressed with her performance that I will look for other books she narrated.
