A real page-turner full of wartime friendships, hope and love NetGalley reviewer

On the Home Front, one girl is determined to make a difference.
But Edies hopes of serving overseas are dashed when shes sent to be a Land Girl in a sleepy Cumbrian village.

Edies heart breaks, seeing the childrens cold welcome. But when the evacuees take in a stray puppy, even Prue cant say no.
