Against the backdrop of an elegant Cornwall mansion before WWII and a vast continent spanning canvas during the turbulent war years, this imvolving story tells of an extra-ordinary young woman's coming of age, coming to grips with love and sadness, and in every sense of the term, coming home.

In 1935 Judith Dunbar is left behind at a British boarding school when her mother and babysister go off to join her father in Singapore. At Saint Ursula's, her friendship with Loveday Carey-Lweis sweeps her into the privileged, madcap world of the aristocracy, teaching her about values, friendship and wealth.
