"Beyond That, the Sea" by Laura Spence-Ash follows a young English girl, Beatrix, who is sent by her parents to live temporarily in America, far away from the German bombs dropping over London. For a few years, she settles into her life with the family that takes her in, only to have everything upended when she's brought back to London at the end of the war. Unable to fully let go of the person she grew into in America, Beatrix finds herself pulled between countries and between ideas of who she could be, even as she grows up and pursues a life and love of her own.
