She’s determined to prove herself and create a new life until bombs start to fall on the city. Ruby is an ice cream truffle—she loses everything in the Blitz, and like the ice cream that is covered in chocolate, she is forced to depend on strangers. However, it is a story of survival, friendship, and love, so although Ruby is forced to reshape her life, she continues to survive and thrive. The chocolate protects the ice cream from completely melting, and Ruby Sutton survives a horrible situation and becomes stronger because of it.
