Some things are better kept to yourself…

Ellen has secrets to keep — pretty ordinary ones. But she’s not living in ordinary times. World War II has brought food rationing, air raids and blackout curtains to her close-knit community in northern England.

Her dad gets injured in a raid, and a German airplane crashes in a nearby field. Then a bomb leaves Ellen trapped in a collapsed building, and she suddenly has an extraordinary secret to keep.

What would the neighbours do if they knew? Can Ellen betray someone who has become a friend?
