A powerful, poetic story about a new home and new hope that will stay with you long after the last page has turned.

Content:

When Ana leaves everything she knows and loves to escape the turmoil of war, she struggles to settle into her new home with Olive and her family. Olive has some adjustment struggles of her own, but when the girls draw together. Olive realises what Ana has had to sacrifice for the simple right to be safe. Little by little, Olive’s kindness and love help bring colour back into Ana’s world.
