Summary	England, 1940. District Nurse Annie Russell and her mother are listening anxiously to the local boys fighting in the Battle of Britain overhead when a knock comes at the door. On the doorstep is a hatbox, and inside a tiny new-born baby, alone but for a ration book beside her. Annie does everything she can to care for her little charge, worrying about the frightened young mother who could be in dire need of help. Then, social services announce that if Annie can't find the child's family soon, the authorities will have to take her away. More and more brave pilots of the local airbase are not returning, and Annie can't help but worry - what if one of the fallen is the father? Can Annie find the answers she needs, and reunite the tiny baby with her parents before it is too late?
