Summary

The Yorkshire Dales, 1938: Maddy Hebditch has been living in poverty with her cantankerous grandmother since she was orphaned when she was just five, and it's a constant struggle to stay out of the workhouse. However, though life is hard, Maddy has her friends Alice, Marigold and Tom to help her. Together, the four spend their summers exploring the Dales and making plans for the future - until war breaks out. As the four go their separate ways, Maddy joins the ATS, where she is assigned one of the most dangerous jobs a woman could do: the Ack Ack sites. All four face dangers as the war worsens, but when Tom is terribly injured, Maddy's world falls apart.
