When Clara Newton’s fiancé died during World War Two, she thought her life was over. But now, she looks after orphans who, like her, lost everything during the war. Children like sweet little Peg, who won’t speak, and Joyce, whose body was scarred by polio. But then, Clara receives some terrible news. The orphanage is going to be sold and the children sent far away. With wealthy buyers lined up to purchase Shilling Grange and a ship already docked waiting to carry the children away, Clara is desperate. She must find loving new homes for them quickly, but time is running out.

I did not like the character arc of Clara in this volume. Though standing on her on in this 2nd book, she seemed much more wishy-washy, paranoid and unable to make strident decisions. Clara has a long way to go to grow up for an adult. She is stunned into immobility on at least one or two occasions that in the first book she would have put herself in danger to benefit one of the children. I still loved the story and recommend, perhaps there will be another book in the series I would like to see how the characters do with their new situations. I would like to follow the main Children as they come of age.
***********May contain spoiler hints ********* By the last 10 chapters it was difficult for me to relate to Clara's decisions that continued to be based on fear, paranoia, her lack of confidence and ability to communicate with adults when she is passionate about a cause. Also her pride, self-defeating attitude determining that she cannot do something even though she hadn't tried before. These very blinders and stubborn thought patterns that may prevent her from what she wants most.
