Description

The First World War has ended, but it hasn’t gone away. When Natty has to move to a new village, she meets two young soldiers who are still battling the effects of war and shellshock.

Her cousin Huw can’t forget the terrible things he’s seen, but another young soldier Johnny doesn’t even remember who he is. Natty wishes she could get through to Huw and is desperate to help Johnny recover his memories but what can she do that the nurses and doctors haven’t already tried?

Meanwhile Natty is fighting her own battles – protesting to get the local authority to help the schoolchildren who can’t afford a midday meal. As she gets embroiled in the cause, and in trying to help the young soldiers, she starts to unravel a mystery. Natty knows that – just as Jonny and Huw did – she must fight for what she believes in, and she learns that some things should never be forgotten .
