The War That Saved My Life

Author: Kimberly Brubaker Bradley

Ada’s twisted foot has kept her trapped in her London flat, but when children are evacuated during World War II, she seizes her chance at freedom. Alongside her protective brother Jamie, Ada discovers a new world in the English countryside. As she learns to ride horses and face her fears, Ada finds strength she never knew she had. This heartwarming tale of resilience and self-discovery will stay with you long after the last page. Bradley’s vivid storytelling brings wartime England to life, reminding us that sometimes, the greatest battles are fought within ourselves.

I wanted to say a lot of things, but, as usual, I didn't have the words for the thoughts inside my head.
