Somerset, 1836, and baby Hope is cast out from a world of privilege as proof of her mothers adultery...

Smuggled away from the rich Harvey household to a nearby village, Hope grows up in the arms of the warm and loving Renton family, her true identity a secret. But her idyllic childhood comes to an end when she is taken into service by the Harvey’s, setting in motion a chain of events that will see her blackmailed into leaving her beloved family forever. Destitute on the streets of Bristol, Hope nevertheless finds the courage to nurse those dying of cholera and soon her new-found talent for healing sees her heading for the horrific battlefields of the Crimea.

But the secrets of the past are not yet done with Hope Renton - and she must return to England to face the legacy of her birth...
