The Child Left Behind Summary

The Child Left Behind by Anne Bennett

A moving family drama of one young woman's fight to survive, to find her long-lost relatives and to find a place to call home

Bridgette has been hurt many times in her life. Her early years were blighted by her spoilt brother; her marriage ruined by World War Two. Now her mother is dying. And then comes a deathbed revelation - somewhere Bridgette has another family and a father.

Bridgette joins the war effort and shows her courage by aiding a British Agent whose life is in danger. But, as the war draws to a close, Bridgette is still full of questions about her past and is determined to find the answers. So she sets off for Birmingham - not knowing what she will discover, but desperately hoping to find a place where she can finally belong...
