This second book starts with Ada’s clubfoot being surgically fixed and the many emotions she experiences as she realizes that she is able to walk, run and do all the things her mother always derided her for not being able to do. She has to grapple with the question: who is she now? As the war continues, Ada and Jamie must learn to find hope and joy in difficult times while experiencing loss and fear. Can they learn to love a German? Can they help the war effort and stay optimistic? Ada makes new friends in unexpected places, and she is finally able to find her home. Find it in the catalog.
