A beautiful insight into the real life of a young girl waiting for her loved ones to return home from the war.

Based on the true story of Fay Howe, this gentle tale brings to life the hardships of those left at home during the war - waiting, wondering, hoping. Drawing on fascinating archival material, and interweaving fact with fiction, award-winning author Dianne Wolfer deftly recreates the outbreak of World War I in Australian history from the perspective of a young girl.
