This beautifully illustrated book follows a year in the life of a little foal, from his first moments as he learns to stand on wobbly legs, through his growth into a strong young horse ready to be trained.
In 1940, in Barra in the Outer Hebrides, an 18-year-old woman, Flòraidh, is persuaded to leave her island home when she learns that her stepmother intends to marry her off to the local shopkeeper. She follows her enigmatic friend Lavinia to the city and changes her identity to Laura, like a butterfly, leaving her chrysalis behind, as they join the war effort.
