Ever since her beloved Jed died, all Virginia wants is to be left alone. But the little girl who lives down the street is so sweet, that even in her grief-fuelled state Virginiaâs heart softens whenever she sees her.
And thatâs why Virginia knows thereâs something wrong in the little girlâs house. So when the mother asks Virginia to take her child far away, somewhere safe, Virginia says yes.
The last thing Virginia would call herself is a hero. Sheâs just doing what anyone else would do, right? But when she realises how much danger the child is in, she knows she needs to do everything she can to keep her safe ... Because sometimes itâs the most ordinary people who do the most extraordinary things.
