Meanwhile, Caleb's letters turn darker as his initial enthusiasm fades and reality takes over.

Soon she's running the Post Office almost single-handed. Then Caleb's letters stop arriving. 14-year-old Beatrice Thomas lives with her mother and younger sister Tilly in a small country town during WW1.
