As a young boy growing up in the 1950's, Ian Mercer came to realise there were secrets from the past which no one in his family wanted to talk about...a German grandfather, a mother and aunt who had spent most of their childhoods in an orphanage, a rift between his grandmother and mother that never healed...
Years later, he decided to track down the truth...and unearthed a tragic love story, cruel twists of fate, the devastation caused by futile wars, a lost childhood and a family he never knew existed.
She Didn't Wave is a true story with a positive message that has never been more important, about how the past shapes us - but does not have to define our future.
