When the bombs fall on London, childhood ends in a single night.
John is only thirteen when a Nazi rocket destroys his home, killing his mother and little sister and erasing everything he knew as safety. With his father missing in the war, John is left to survive alone in a city where hunger, fear, and cruelty have become ordinary. Passed between relatives who cannot-or will not-protect him, he learns early that dignity can be a form of resistance.
As the Blitz tightens its grip on Britain, John is sent across the Atlantic in a desperate evacuation meant to save the lives of children. There, amid fear and uncertainty, he meets Tony, another boy fleeing the war. A single act of kindness forges a bond that will outlast bombings, exile, poverty, and time itself.
