In the quiet corners of Launceston, a young girl roams freely with her loyal companion, Cardie—a spirited cocker spaniel who shares her every secret. Their days are filled with wonder, exploring the rugged wilderness that surrounds their home. But beyond the rolling hills and ancient forests, a world at war casts its shadow.

As the winds of change sweep across the globe, the author's childhood unfolds against the backdrop of World War II. The island remains untouched by conflict, yet its inhabitants feel the distant tremors. Her memories weave together moments of joy, curiosity, and the bittersweet ache of growing up.
