________

Lake District, 1942. The women at Mary Vale Mother and Baby Home must pull together during their darkest hour . . .

But Sybil would rather be anywhere else. She hoped to spend the season in London when an unexpected pregnancy soon put an end to those plans.

While poor Rosie arrives with her two children in tow - their lives torn apart after their house was bombed.

And when new midwife Edith joins it's clear she has her own secrets to hide.

Then one day Mary Vale faces the ultimate threat - requisition by the army - and the mothers and midwives must find comfort and friendship in one another.

But can they also find the strength to fight for their Home?

關於作者

Daisy Styles grew up in Lancashire surrounded by a family and community of strong women whose tales she loved to listen to. It was from these women, particularly her vibrant mother and Irish grandmother, that Daisy learned the art of storytelling. There was also the landscape of her childhood - wide, sweeping, empty moors and hills that ran as far as the eye could see - which was a perfect backdrop for a saga, a space big enough and wild enough to stage a drama, one about women's lives during the Second World War.
