520    "Imagine you are a twelve-year-old girl; you have a happy 
       life and a family that loves you, then bit by bit your 
       life disintegrates and you find yourself alone, thousands 
       of miles from home. It is September 1940, Maggie and her 
       young siblings, Grace and Billy, are living in the East 
       End of London with their parents. Their father has been 
       killed at Dunkirk and their mother goes into hospital to 
       have her fourth child, leaving the children with a 
       neighbour. In one of the worst bombing raids of the war 
       their home is destroyed and the neighbour is killed. 
       Bewildered and frightened, the children wander the streets
       until they are taken in by some nuns. But their problems 
       are not over; no-one can trace their mother and, labelled 
       as orphans, they are sent as child migrants to Australia. 
       The story traces their adventures in their new country, 
       the homesickness, the heartbreak when Billy is separated 
       from his sisters and the loneliness of life in a cold and 
       unfeeling orphanage. Eventually the children make new 
       lives for themselves, but Maggie is still convinced that 
       her mother is alive and once she is old enough, begins to 
       search for her."--Provided by publisher.
