Summary
Is it possible for a 10-year-old girl to fall in love? Jenny Mercer thinks so. Evacuated to Lincolnshire from the East End of London at the outbreak of war, she is frightened of the wide-open spaces and the huge skies. But the kindly Thornton family soon makes her feel welcome. And no one more so than Georgie, the handsome RAF fighter pilot who is caught up in the battle for Britain's survival.
When Georgie is posted missing, presumed dead, Jenny is devastated. More heartbreak is to come when Jenny's mother, Dot, decides she wants her daughter home and Jenny is forced to return to live in the city which is now under almost daily attack from enemy bombers. Dot's ‘fancy man', Arthur Osborne, treats Jenny kindly. But is Arthur only interested in the girl because she can be useful to him? No one will suspect a 10-year-old of being involved with the Black Market....
When the law comes a little too close for Arthur's comfort, the family flees in the city and heads towards the hills and the dales of Derbyshire. There, Jenny is caught up in a life of deception. All she really wants is to go back to Lincolnshire. For Jenny has never given up hope that one day, Georgie will come back.

A Wonderfully Uplifting Story
I could and have occasionally listened to this back to back and I never tire of it. Penelope Freeman is an excellent narrator and really brings the characters to life. Do give this a try what have you got to lose ‼️

A beautiful and captivating story
I have listened to Jenny’s war story several times now and thoroughly enjoy it each time. I highly recommend to anyone who likes wartime stories, though this is about a child evacuated from London during the Second World War . Wonderfully written with excellent narration.

A listening must.
When this marvellous story, which was beautifully narrated finished, I could not believe that I had only listened to one story. It really seemed as though I had listened to a series of books. Marvellous.
