Beatrix lives in London with her mother and father when WWII is happening. It is no longer safe and the family decides it is better for Beatrix to move to America where she will be safe.
At such a young age, Beatrix rides on a boat across the Atlantic Ocean to meet the American family she will be staying with. As she slowly warms up to the family, she is also torn because her parents are in London. She enjoys her time in America, but feels conflicted as her parents are still in London during wartime.
Being torn, Beatrix tried to navigate her life with her 2 families.
This book takes you on an adventure through Beatrix’ life along with the lives of the people in her family all the way up to when she is an adult.
This was such a well written story and I cannot believe this is Laura Spencer-Ash’s debut novel! It is funny, loving, and emotional. You quickly fall in love with all the characters.
