Bookroo's summary
During World War II, ten-year-old Ada escapes her abusive mother to join her brother in the countryside. Taken in by Susan, Ada discovers new freedoms, learning to ride a pony and read. As she watches for German spies, Ada's bond with Susan grows. But will this newfound family withstand the war's challenges, or will Ada be forced back into her mother's grasp? A tale of resilience and hope unfolds as Ada fights for a life beyond her one-room prison.
