Living with her father Fred, her younger twin siblings, Harry and Polly, and self-centred Granny Garter, Hester toils day and night in the laundry room of Poplar Hospital to help put food on the family table. But when Fred is badly injured in an accident at the East India Docks, Hester finds herself the sole breadwinner, with the weight of the world on her shoulders. So as to make a better life for herself and her family, Hester trains to be a nurse and throws herself into her work. But being a nurse in the busy East End of London is never easy. When she meets a heroic patient, she can't get him out of her head. Will Hester be swept off her feet by this handsome stranger? And will she find the happiness she and her family so desperately need? 'Like having dinner with your mother in her warm and cosy kitchen.' - Diane Allen, bestselling author of For the Sake of Her Family
