How can you hate someone in the present and love them in the past?

Fliss´s mum needs peace and quiet to recuperate from a long illness, so they both move to the countryside to live with Margot, Fliss´s stern and bullying grandmother. Life on the farm is tough and life at school is even tougher, so when Fliss unearths Margot´s wartime diary, she sees an opportunity to get her own back.

But Fliss soon discovers Margot´s life during the evacuation was full of adventure, mystery . . . and even passion. What´s more, she learns a terrible secret that could tear her whole family apart . . .
