Heartwarming and nostalgic fiction from the best-selling author of The District Nurses of Victory Walk. It's 1943 and two new recruits have joined the district nurses. As the country ramps up for D-Day, the nurses have got their hands very full indeed. Lily is quite sure of herself and doesn't believe she has anything new to learn. She'll find out the hard way that anyone can be made a fool of when she meets a man who promises her everything. Ruby thinks that nursing might not be for her. Is she as useless as she thinks, or will tough times bring out the best in her? The man who broke Alice's heart is back on the scene and wants her back. So why can't she stop thinking about naval officer Joe, her friend and her rock? As the war takes on a new urgency, everything is at stake - can the nurses do what is right for the country and for themselves?
