In "The War That Saved My Life" by Kimberly Brubaker Bradley, ten-year-old Ada lives in a one-room flat in London with her abusive mother, who restricts her to their home because of her clubfoot. When World War II breaks out, Ada seizes a chance to escape and travels to the countryside with her younger brother, Jamie. There, they are taken in by Susan, a reclusive woman who gradually helps Ada discover her self-worth and independence. As the war unfolds, Ada learns about love, friendship, and the strength to overcome her past, ultimately transforming both her life and that of her brother.
