Return to Burracombe in this warm and charming prequel to Lilian Harry''s Burracombe series and journey back to where it all began . . .

Devon, 1943. In the village of Burracombe, ''Dig for Victory'' is more than just a wartime slogan. While the young men are away, everyone at home knows the war effort needs them too. Whether it''s Land Girls on the farms, wives and mothers having to make do and mend, or the villagers knowing how to stretch rations to keep spirits bright, there is always something to be done to help.

When the Barton is requisitioned as a children''s home for war orphans, all of Burracombe rallies round to welcome their newest arrivals, particularly little Maddy Simmons. Still reeling from losing her mother and brother in the Plymouth blitz, and her father being killed at sea, now in a cruel twist, Maddy has been sent to a different children''s home to her beloved sister.

As Maddy explores the village and makes new friends, she begins to feel at home and realises that Burracombe is the kind of place where you will always have someone to turn to, even when times are hard. Could this be somewhere she could finally call home?

This heart-warming story gives a different perspective to the village as it adapts to the struggles of wartime and explores the story of a much-loved character in the wonderful Burracombe series.
