This is a story of courage, resilience and everyday acts of defiance from ordinary people forced to live in an extraordinary time. June 1940. While her little sister Rosie is sent to the UK to keep her safe from the invading German army, Estelle Le Maistre is left behind on Jersey to help her grandmother run the family farm. When the Germans occupy the island, everything changes and Estelle and the islanders must face the reality of life under Nazi rule.
