When Kitty Green returns to teach at the Gloucestershire school where she had been a child evacuee during World War II, she discovers it is about to be relocated to the premises of Heaven House, formerly a boys' home. Young Kitty had been very close to one of the boys, and the story that begins to emerge of those dark and socially constrained times is both terrible and ultimately healing...
In 1944 Kitty is placed with a cold, unhappy couple, Joyce and Jack Shepherd. The lonely girl tries to befriend everyone in the village she sees as missing home or with no one to love them: American airmen, German POWs, unwanted kittens, and above all, Tommy. And in the end, it is her relentless curiousity and single-minded determination to find out the truth that succeeds in transforming the lives of Joyce and Jack, and brings a new light to the village of dark secrets.
