Alma Braithwaite was a teenager in Exeter when her boarding school was bombed in 1942.

It takes the arrival of an innovative new headmistress and a new pupil - the daughter of a man Alma hasn't seen since 1942 - to bring back the painful yet exhilarating summer that followed the air-raids and jolt her out of the past.
