The compelling and heartwarming story of a young nurse's life and
work in 1950s England from the SUNDAY TIMES bestselling author.
"Three small children peep out, their eyes watching me from beneath
tousled but clean hair. Their clothes seem to have been put on
their bodies to cover them rather than to fit them, none wears
shoes. Two older girls stand by a table, the only piece of
furniture I have seen in the house, apart from a rickety pram,
which now stands in the doorway. The crumbling remains of a loaf of
bread are being coated with jam, and eager fingers await them..."
It's the end of the 1950s and Britain is changing. The war's long
shadow is fading and while the country gets ready for the swinging
sixties, Dot is embarking on an adventure of her own. After
qualifying as a midwife, young Dot has taken a job as a health
visitor in the back streets of Birmingham. There, she's not just
responsible for the babies brought into this world, but an army of
toddlers, tykes and tots who all need a helping hand. For Dot it
will be a heartrending journey - trying to help families with next
to nothing, sharing the struggles of young mums and discovering how
the spirit of the community can overcome the toughest of
circumstances.
