Intro. The bumpy ride in the train was nothing compared to the ache in my chest. Mam had always said I was a burden, my clubfoot a mark of shame. She'd locked me in the cupboard, starved me, and hit me until I learned to be quiet. But when Jamie left linden from the war I snuck out with him. When we got to miss smiths house it was different. She was kind and she had a hourse named butter! Jamie had a bit of a temper when he went to school. And Ada couldn’t go because she was told she was educable. Will this be better than mams house?

The war that saved my life
