Product Description
On the island of Guernsey as WWII looms many islanders make the heartbreaking choice to ship their children to safety in England not knowing when (or if) they will be reunited. Acting on faith Ava and Joseph Simon reluctantly send their 9-year-old son Henry and four-year-old daughter Catherine with their children s teacher Helen who will escort them to the mainland. But Helen s sister Lily is fleeing an abusive childless marriage and just as the ferry is about to leave she convinces her sister to let her take Helen s place so that she can make a new start for herself. It is Lily who takes the children to England and it is Lily who lets Henry get on a train by himself. But Lily has always wanted a child and she s unable to let Catherine go. So she decides to walk the other way taking Catherine with her in her arms. That split-second decision impacts the lives of everyone long after the war ends.

Highly recommended. --Historical Novel Society A sure bet for readers of personal war stories and those who want to know What about the women and children? --Booklist Inspired by true events For Those Who Are Lost begins on the eve of the Nazi invasion of the island of Guernsey when terrified parents have a choice to make: send their children alone to England or keep the family together and risk whatever may come to their villages.
