Publisher's summary

Nuneaton, 1911. When Holly Farthing's overbearing grandfather tries to force her to marry a dowdy widower twice her age she finally says no. When he refuses to support her any longer, Holly flees to London, bringing her best friend and maid, Ivy, with her.  

In the big smoke, Holly searches for the father she's never met and begins nurse training in the local hospital, where she meets the dashing Doctor Parkin. Kind and compassionate, he is everything that Holly has ever dreamt of.   

When Doctor Parkin proposes, Holly finally feels like she'll have the family she so longs for. But when she discovers some shocking news that means they can never be together, Holly's life is suddenly in turmoil. Supporting the war effort, she heads to France and throws herself into volunteering on the front line. Are the rumours about Doctor Parkin really true? And can Holly ever find the happiness she so truly deserves?

A lovely.....

storyline with some great characters and antics within the book. I have loved every single book in this series and highly recommend them. The narrator was very good at using different voices for the characters.

Wonderful!

Another wonderful tale on this fabulous series. Every book has been as good as the last. I’m going to miss all these characters. So great to have such a clean, uplifting series to read. Heartaches of life along their ways but lovely happy endings as well. Thank you Rosie Goodwin!

Story spoiled by narration.

Narration worst I have ever heard! Sounded like a fourteen year old reading a school composition.
Shame, because the story is quite good and deserved much better,
