June 1940: four children Carol, Alan, Peter and Jenny are evacuated from south London with their grandmother to stay in a converted tram that has been transported to a small rural village in Rutland.
Their mother is left behind to run the family shop, enduring hardship and difficulties, whilst their father is in the RAF.
Life has changed for all of them. They must adapt to a totally different way of living as well as growing up without their parents. The village children at first are suspicious of the evacuees. Carol, Alan, Peter and Jenny encounter tragedies as well as good times with their friends, school and the local farmer and his wife.
Visits to see their mother are curtailed by the devastation during the Blitz. During their first Christmas back home their mother is desperate to keep them safe as the bombing continues, resulting in a disaster close to their home. She makes the decision that they will have to return the tram.
A fascinating story of wartime Britain and the hardships experienced at that time.
