The story of a decent honest middle-class German family of three from the suburbs of Munich. They seek a chance to create a future away from their storm-tossed homeland in the nineteen-thirties. The family move to threatened and war-torn Britain in search of a new life.

They experience various struggles and endeavour to make the most of their hard-won opportunities, and their new friendships and acquaintanceships in a strange land and in a noble cause.

Underlying the adventure is the life of a strong and determined young woman of great courage and resource, determined to do her bit for the country she has come to appreciate and love. The story is a kaleidoscope of hopes.
