It's never easy to go back, especially when the memories you've been running from suddenly resurface.

When Annie returns to her home village after a long absence, she rediscovers the diary she kept the year she turned 16, the year that changed her life. We follow Annie as she navigates a blossoming love story with a handsome soldier and her growing affection for an evacuee child. With tender and amusing moments, this story―set in a small English village during World War II―explores love, resilience, and loss with a fresh new voice.
