Back Home is set just after the Second World War, and features an English girl Rusty who had been sent away to the United States for the duration of the war. Her "American family" now feels like her real family, and her parents are almost strangers to her.

A relatively new writer, MichelleMagorian promises to delight readers for many years.
Born in November 1947, in Portsmouth, England, Magorian spent part of her childhood in Singapore and Australia as the family followed her father's naval assignments.
Later he became a lawyer in Hampshire, and there Magorian acquired the feeling for the rural English settings described in her books.
