Incredibly sweet story of a young girl, Kitty, who is evacuated to the country from London in WWII...she is placed with a cold, uncaring couple, but is befriended by a sweet older boy who lives in the nearby orphanage. Their loving friendship is what saves her, and what gives her the clues to as to the reason her foster parents behave the way they do and how to save their marriage and make them love her. The story is told in flashback form, as the older Kitty returns to the village as a young adult to teach school.
