Devastated by the loss of her parents, Adelaide finds comfort in looking after her baby sister and the animals she adores. But when Katharina organises a dangerous operation to help children and animals escape the battle-scarred city, something goes wrong. And Adelaide has to make a promise to her adopted mother: a promise that will last a lifetime.

Bethan’s father couldn’t tell her anything about the old piece of paper and she’s been searching for the meaning ever since. Could Ada help her uncover a long-buried family mystery?”
