Description

When her childhood sweetheart is killed in action, Maxine Grey's world is turned upside down. Desperate to make a difference in the war, she takes a nursing job at London's St Thomas's Hospital, seeking comfort in the attentions of a handsome surgeon. But as the Blitz descends on the capital, Maxine returns to Liverpool heartbroken and surrounded by the threat of scandal.

Offered a job at a Dr Barnardo's orphanage, Maxine hopes this is the second chance she has been looking for. And one little boy in particular helps her to realise that she needs the orphans just as much as they need her. A gripping story of love, friendship and hope in the darkest of places.
