Glynis Peters - Az enyveskezű árva

When all seems lost, hope lives on and a strong will can prevail.

Hitler's bombs rain non-stop on besieged England. Ruby Shadwell also suffers the most devastating blow - her entire family perishes in the bombing of Coventry. The girl is left alone in the city drowned in chaos, but she decides to try to survive the war and rebuild her life no matter what it takes. A chance encounter with the street kid Tommy and Sergeant Jean-Paul Clayton opens new horizons for Ruby. Although he does not want to be emotionally attached to anyone anymore, because he has learned so far that this involves immeasurable pain; after a while he accepts the help of those around him and the little boy's company.
