With the war in Europe over, the challenges at home are just beginning. As World War II ends, evacuees return to Britain – but their families are not quite the same. Peggy has found happiness working and living with friends, a stark contrast to her life before the war. Her daughter, Rusty, returns from the U.S. after five years as an evacuee, finding her English home changed beyond recognition. As Peggy tries to rebuild family bonds, her husband returns from the war, struggling to recapture the past. Based on the novel by Michelle Magorian, author of *Goodnight, Mister Tom*, *Back Home* tells the story of a family navigating a new reality shaped by the lasting impact of war.
