A douze ans à peine, Adele assiste, impuissante, à la mort accidentelle de sa petite s?ur. Brutalisée par sa mère qui la rend responsable du drame, elle est conduite dans un sinistre orphelinat, avant de trouver refuge chez sa grand-mère Honour. D'abord hostile, la vieille dame se laisse séduire par la fillette et l'élève de son mieux. Adele trouve enfin un peu du réconfort et de la chaleur qui lui ont si cruellement manqué. Et quand, à quatorze ans, elle découvre l'amour avec son jeune voisin, Michael Bailey, elle se prend même à rêver d'une vie heureuse. Hélas! les horreurs de la guerre et le terrible secret révélé par sa mère vont venir briser son bonheur si durement gagné.
