Story
Liverpool, 1868. Shrouded in secrecy, Alice Sampson gives birth to a beautiful baby girl. But the former nurse's happiness is blighted by the knowledge that as a penniless, unwed mother, her future, and that of her child, can only be one of shame and disgrace. Then a knock at the door brings a miracle: she is invited to return to the Liverpool Royal Infirmary and her beloved ward. With the help of her friends and the welcome attentions of Reverend Seed, the hospital Chaplain, Alice slowly starts to rebuild her life.

Under developed characters
Too many loose ends. I liked the story but was left dangling, so I bought the second book in the series which also left all but one of the characters in never never land. Many other similar titled books by various authors. A bit confusing.
