A wartime nurse brings hope in the dark in the brand new heartwarming and gripping historical novel from beloved bestseller Diney Costeloe. They knew each other as mistress and maid. Lucy, daughter of the house. Mabel the reluctant maid, who had to put her own ambitions aside when her family fell on hard times. By the time World War I breaks out, their paths have gone separate ways. Lucy has married. Mabel has inherited a printing business from an old friend who always grieved to see her enter domestic service. But war is set to change their lives once again. Women will be asked to do the work of the men called up to fight. Class divides will break down and a whole generation of young people from every walk of life will find themselves in turmoil. Love won, love lost, hopes raised, then dashed, families torn apart as fathers, sons and brothers fall in battle. But through it all shines the indomitable will of women who will not take no for an answer, women who vow to rebuild from the ruins one day - and snatch victory from defeat.
