The War I Finally Won

Product Description

Like the classic heroines of literature, Ada wins our hearts as she continues her World War II adventures after the Newbery Honor-winning The War that Saved My Life. When Ada's clubfoot is surgically fixed at last, she knows for certain that she's not what her mother said she was - crippled in her mind as well as in her body. But who is she, she wonders? Ada and her brother, Jamie, are living with their guardian, Susan, in a cottage in the English countryside, on the estate of the formidable Lady Thornton and her daughter, Maggie, Ada's dearest friend. Life in the crowded cottage is tense. Then Ruth, a Jewish girl from Germany, moves in. A German? Everyone is horrified. Ada must decide - where do her loyalties lie? The War I Finally Won is the marvellous conclusion to Ada's powerful, uplifting story.
