Around 18,000 men, women and children were evacuated from Guernsey in the space of two days in June 1940, before German forces invaded and occupied the island for five years.
A Home from Home unveils the poignant memories of two little girls separated from their parents at the island's harbour, adapting to life in England and their mother's desperate search to find them.
Also taking in the experiences of eight other child-evacuees, this book reveals the emotional and heartrending challenges that many islanders faced during five years away from their homes and also on their return to Guernsey when the war ended.
A Home from Home reflects the courage of families torn apart by war and the kindness of many strangers towards them.
