520    $a London, 1941: A woman is found wandering and injured after an air raid. She remembers nothing of who she is; only that she has lost something precious. As the little boy waits in the orphanage, he hopes his mother will return. But then he finds himself on board a ship bound for Australia, the promise of a golden life ahead, and wonders: how will she find him in a land across the oceans? In Perth, a lonely wife takes in the supposedly orphaned child. But then she discovers the secret of his past. Should she keep quiet, or tell the truth and risk losing the boy who has become her life? Set in London and Australia, this novel is inspired by real events, and is a story of human spirit and enduring love.
