Katie King

A heart-warming story of friendship and family during the first Christmas of World War Two.

Autumn 1939 and London prepares to evacuate its young. In No
5 Jubilee Street, Bermondsey, ten-year-old Connie is
determined to show her parents that she’s a brave girl and
can look after her twin brother, Jessie. She won’t cry, not
while anyone’s watching.

In the crisp Yorkshire Dales, Connie and Jessie are billeted
to a rambling vicarage. Kindly but chaotic, Reverend
Braithwaite is determined to keep his London charges on the
straight and narrow, but the twins soon find adventures of
their own. As autumn turns to winter, Connie’s dearest wish
is that war will end and they will be home for Christmas.
But this Christmas Eve there will be an unexpected arrival…
