Based on true events, this novel tells the unforgettable story of the life-changing bonds formed between a young girl and her teacher in a remote corner of a terrible war.
With Japan's declaration of war on the Allies, Elspeth Kent's future changes forever. When soldiers take control of the missionary school where she teaches, comfortable security is replaced by rationing, uncertainty, and fear.
Ten-year-old Nancy Plummer has always felt safe at Chefoo School. Now, the enemy is separated indefinitely from anxious parents, and the children must turn to their teachers, especially Miss Keny and her new Girl Guide patrol, for help.
However, worse is to come when the pupils and teachers are sent to a distant internment camp. Unimaginable hardship, impossible choices, and danger lie ahead.
This novel is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the strength of bonds formed in times of crisis. It has been shortlisted for the Irish Book Awards for Popular Fiction Book of the Year and is a USA Today bestseller. It has also been published in the USA and Canada under the title "When We Were Young and Brave."
