Pre-order the heartwarming story of three remarkable women discovering their strength during World War II, perfect for fans of Katie Flynn, Call the Midwife, and Downton Abbey. In 1942, Mary Vale, a sanctuary for expectant mothers on the edge of the Lake District, opens its doors to two women from London with very different backgrounds. Rosie Lashley, whose house has been bombed, arrives with her children, and while she improves under the care of dedicated midwives, her unruly kids create quite a stir. In contrast, socialite Sybil Harwood is desperate to leave Mary Vale, eager to have her baby adopted and return to her glamorous life in the capital. Meanwhile, new midwife Edith arrives with her own secrets to keep. As the war intensifies, Mary Vale faces the threat of requisition by the army, putting its future at risk. The women must unite to protect their sanctuary and find solace in one another.
