Book 2 of the 'Moving Times' series.
"I do so much want to follow in her footsteps. On the day the war ended, Granny told me to stick by her and I'd be all right. I'm trying to do just that, to stay as close to her as I can, for ever and ever."
But Ruth's mother, returning from the Victory celebrations, has quite other plans for the family's future.
So, in the unfamiliar postwar world, begins a succession of wild schemes, changes and upheavals, different homes, new babies, encounters with strangers. And devastating loss and sadness. But ever present, for young Ruth, is the certain echo of her Granny's footsteps.
