Based on the true story of Fay Howe, this gentle, illustrated tale brings to life the hardships of those left at home during WWI - those waiting, wondering and hoping. At the outbreak of World War I, Fay lives alone with her father on bleak, windswept Breaksea Island. As war rages over the world, Fay's life is about to dramatically change as she faces the reality of surviving the home front and the never-ending threat of invasion. Drawing on fascinating archival material, award-winning author Dianne Wolfer deftly recreates this period in Australian history from the perspective of a young girl.
