But even as she is grateful for her British home, she cannot stop thinking about her parents and her brother, who were not as lucky. As Sally and Rebecca grow closer and war seems inevitable, Rebecca shares her memories with her new friend. And when the war draws to a close, both of them are anxious to learn the answer to the most important question of all: has Rebecca's family survived?
