1940. With the Phoney War in England finally at an end, a young,
naive Primary School teacher dreaming of life as a Wren, survives a
brutal sequence of events involving hidden romance and tragedy.
When one shocking incident throws her life upside down, she
suddenly finds herself responsible for an orphaned pupil and
together they embark on an emotional adventure beginning with a
move away from the horrors of the Blitz to the challenges and
rewards of farm life. Her love for the little boy grows daily and a
new beginning for them both at a boarding school involves the
rescue of a Dutch refugee and a sinister discovery with disturbing
consequences, while the puzzle of the true identity of the orphaned
boy is slowly revealed. As the months go by, their courage and
commitment to each other develops to form a close bond with
separation unimaginable until the story moves from one end of the
country to the other where the descent of an ancient Scottish
family is altered by the lineage taking an unexpected turn. Sense
of duty inspires her to accomplish the mission she so nervously
accepted and numerous journeys to complete the predetermined task
with new encounters, often fraught with danger, see the once naive
young teacher increase in strength and maturity allowing her to
finally reach her goal. Just as peace and harmony appear on the
horizon, another set of circumstances undermines her newly found
contentment when bad news reaches the Highlands and loyalty to her
own family forces her to make a choice. Unwelcome changes
eventually lead to her acceptance that something more demanding
should fill the huge gap left in her life, but together with the
likelihood of being called-up for war work anyway, the conclusion
is still a surprise.
