![]() ![]() This is a story set in England during WWII period and about a 4 year old girl Pamela being left behind on a bus and Ellen, the main character from the book, picked her up and bought her home herself so the little girl can stay safe. The feelings of sadness, sorrow, hope and most of all the feeling of love still lingered days after I read this book. All the emotions I had when I finished the book still lingered. I finished We Must Be Brave by Frances Liardet a few days ago.
