Sarah - Twice Removed

About the Book

In 1940, one year after war was declared, Sarah, then a child, had her life changed forever. The story follows Sarah, as she grows from a child into a young woman, with a head on her shoulders far older than her years. It tells of Sarah's adventures, and her misadventures from 1939, during her first and second 'removals' until the end of the war in 1945. Sarah hated the words 'evacuation' and 'evacuee', so she was 'removed from danger', which she liked much better.
