Anita Rose’s life was shaped by three transformational events in her early teens: the outbreak of war, her being sent from London to Chicago to live with an uncle and aunt and a jealous cousin, and the drowning of her father when a transatlantic ship carrying 90 child evacuees was torpedoed by a German submarine. This is the story of her survival and subsequent triumph.
