An injured woman is found wandering in London after an air raid. She remembers nothing of who she is. Only that she has lost something very precious.

Under the Perth sun a lonely wife longs for a baby. When the English boy comes to live with her and her husband, she sees in him the son she was never able to have. But then she discovers the secret of his past. Should she keep quiet? Or tell the truth and risk losing the child who has become her life?
