About
Gwenda and Douglas Brady were among the millions of British children sent - for their own safety - to live with new families during the Second World War, leaving behind parents, friends and all that felt familiar and safe. Evacuation could be a scary experience, but five-year-old Gwenda and her brother were housed with a kindly schoolmaster and his wife in an idyllic Lake District village. The realities of war soon felt very far away. This is the poignant story of finding a second family and a loving home...and how the war touched the lives of everyone. Would life ever be the same when the war was over?
