West Yorkshire, 1926. After completing her training in Steeple Street, Agnes is looking forward to making her mark as the village's first district nurse, confident she can make a difference in the locals' lives. But when she arrives, she's treated with suspicion, labelled just another servant of the wealthy mine owners. The locals would much rather place their trust in the resident healer, Nella Black.

Now it's time to prove whose side she is really on and to fight for her place in the village....

Made me appreciate coal miners and their families!

Having grown up using coal to heat my family’s home I now have an appreciation of what it took to get it!

Disappointing Ending

This was a great book, and Donna Douglas is a new favorite, but the ending fell flat.

Really terrible!

One of the worst books I have ever listened to. It alternated cliches and unrealistic plot lines.
