Tommy's War

In 1939, in the growing shadows of World War II, young Tommy Parker, his mother, and his sister leave their London house for the Midlands to avoid the German bombing. As evacuees, they endure a challenging time living with distant relatives until they find a new home south of London. Tommy’s ambitious father, a Lieutenant in the British Army, joins the fighting in far-off lands—from the sun-scorched deserts of Egypt to the ravaged streets of Italy and Germany. Tommy’s world begins to fall apart when letters from his father grow scarce, and the blast from a German V1 bomb shatters the front of the family’s house. Torn by the harsh realities of War and parental conflict, Tommy fights back.
