Description
Lady Harvey's secret was one that could ruin her mother's life. Born out of wedlock to an aristocratic family, Baby Hope was given up for adoption and raised by the poor but loving Renton family in a nearby village. As she grew older, Hope's true identity remained hidden, but when the time came for her to leave home, she took service with the Harveys. However, when Hope discovered something she shouldn't have, she was blackmailed into leaving the only family she had ever known. With no one to turn to, Hope found herself alone and destitute on the streets of a city. But it was in this darkest of places that she discovered her courage and kindness, leading her to become a nurse and eventually find herself on the battlefields of the Crimea. Will Hope ever uncover the truth about her birth? This epic saga is a heartwarming and emotional tale of love, loss, and redemption.
