'Rosie writes such heartwarming sagas' Lyn Andrews
Nuneaton, 1911
When Holly Farthing's overbearing grandfather tries to force her to marry a widower twice her age, she finally says no. After 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. There she meets the dashing Doctor Parkin. Kind and compassionate, he is everything
Holly has ever dreamt of.
When Doctor Parkin proposes, Holly finally feels like she'll have the family she so longs for. But soon, she discovers some shocking news that means they can never be together, and her life is suddenly thrown into turmoil. Supporting the war effort, she heads to France and throws herself into volunteering on the front line.
Can Holly ever find the happiness she so truly deserves?

Took a couple of chapters to get into this book, but then I couldn't put it down! Finished it in 2 days, and though I thoroughly enjoyed it, I was left wanting more. I didn't want it to end!! Looking forward to the next book. 😊
