What to expect
THE TOUCHING TRUE STORY
Two young Second World War evacuees
Far from home, far from family, safe from the war
Gwenda and Douglas Brady were among the millions of British children sent to live with new families for their own safety during the Second World War, leaving behind their parents, their friends and all that felt familiar and safe. Evacuation could be a scary experience, but five-year-old Gwenda and her brother were lucky enough to be housed with a kindly schoolmaster and his wife, and soon the realities of the war felt very far away.
WHEN THE WAR IS OVER touchingly tells the story of how Gwenda and Doug found a second family and a loving home in the remote Lake District village of Bampton . . . and how the war touched the lives of everyone, even those far, far away from the big cities.
Readers love WHEN THE WAR IS OVER:

'A RIVETING read'
'All the people really came to life'
'A WONDERFUL record'
'True stories of life and VERY ENTERTAINING'
'NOSTALGIC and ENJOYABLE'
'An intimate record of what it was like as a young child being evacuated in WWII'
