Publisher's Synopsis
When Connie Pride finds herself alone and pregnant in the rough courts of Liverpool, she despairs. Deserted by her lover and too proud to ask her estranged family for help, there seems no hope, until she is offered the chance to train as a nurse. Finally Connie has a purpose in life, especially when the wounded of World War I start to arrive in droves, but when a face from the past turns up to disrupt Connie's new life, all she has built up is threatened. She will need every ounce of courage - and help from old friends and new.
