Upon reading the first look of this book, I knew that I had to have it. Historical fiction at it's best, this book follows the story and life of Bea, a young girl at the beginning of the story who is sent to America to live with a family during World War II. Although it could be considered WWII historical fiction, it surpasses that, and is a great, timeless story, that is elevated above your typical WWII story.
This book is told from multiple perspectives, and shows how one act in your life (such as being away from your family for five years) can really shape and form your own life into something that it may not have been, had the event not occurred.
This book was beautifully written, with short vignettes that switch off from perspective to perspective. I loved the short and sweet chapters, which made it easy to follow and easy to read and come back to at a later date. Definitely recommend this book!!!
