During the 1930s Depression in Scotland, Kezzie and her young sister Lucy are luckier than most. Following their father’s death, they manage to stay together and live on the little work Kezzie and Grandad are able to find. But life turns sour when Lucy goes missing. Without hesitation, Kezzie sets off alone to find her sister, a difficult journey which takes her over the Atlantic to Canada . . .

In the second story, Kezzie and Lucy are reunited with Grandad in Clydebank. The Second World War breaks out, and the family spirit is put to the test. Kezzie’s strength is needed by so many – she must save an Italian family from the racial hatred they encounter, and rescue her old school friend Peg. As Clydebank is bombed and becomes a burning inferno, will Kezzie be strong enough to turn a tragedy into a triumph?

For Kezzie, the war began when the German planes fired at the cruise liner on which she was traveling home from Canada to Scotland. Yet she and her younger sister, Lucy, find that they have some months to enjoy their time reunited with Grandad in Clydebank before the war starts in earnest.

Soon, however, the family spirit is put to the test. Kezzie’s strength is needed by so many. First, she has to save an Italian family from the racial hatred they encounter, then she rescues her old school friend Peg. But as Clydebank becomes a burning inferno, will Kezzie be strong enough to turn a tragedy into a triumph?
