Bestselling author Holly Webb returns with a moving story
of love, loss and learning to grow up.



In the seaside town of Whitby, when the United
Kingdom is on the cusp of World War One, Evie and her
family are touched by tragedy when Evie's younger brother
Alexander dies unexpectedly.


As Evie's mother and father struggle in their own ways
to come to terms with their loss, Evie's older brother David
distracts himself with the ever-growing threat of war
and Evie and her sister Kitty find ways to keep their spirits
up.



But when the threat of war turns into reality and
David enlists in the army, Evie's mother is truly heartbroken.
And as the family does their best to contribute to
the war effort, they also struggle with the sacrifices each
of them are forced to make.



Based on the real-life bombing of Whitby in 1914, this
beautiful, powerful and important read by
Holly Webb is devastating but also wonderfullyuplifting.
