'A wonderful tale of 1950s Britain... a vivid account of a midwife's lot' Amazon reader review 'I couldn't put it down' Amazon reader review 'Charming, sad, humorous and poignant' Amazon reader review ***** The compelling and heartwarming true story of a young nurse's life and work in 1950s England, from the Sunday Times bestseller. 'Three small children peep out, their eyes watching me. The crumbling remains of a loaf of bread are being coated with jam, and eager fingers await them...' It's the end of the 1950s and Britain is changing. The war's long shadow is fading and, while the country gets ready for the swinging sixties, Dot is embarking on an adventure of her own. After qualifying as a midwife, young Dot has taken a job as a health visitor in the back streets of Birmingham. There, she's not just responsible for the babies brought into this world, but an army of toddlers, tykes and tots who all need a helping hand. For Dot, it will be a heartrending journey trying to help families with next to nothing, sharing the struggles of young mums and discovering how the spirit of the community can overcome the toughest of circumstances.
