It is 1950, and Kitty Longthorne has become a Sister at Manchester's Park Hospital, where she is as busy as ever. The hospital is overwhelmed with an influx of children suffering from polio, as well as a significant rise in major trauma cases resulting from road accidents. Additionally, the growing political and racial tensions are affecting her patients and staff, creating a dramatic atmosphere. Despite the challenges, Kitty is determined to ensure that everyone is treated with respect.

In her personal life, Kitty is finally ready to marry her fiancé, Dr. James Williams. However, their happiness is threatened by the growing Cold War tensions. Kitty and James come under scrutiny due to their close relationships with two individuals who may be associated with suspicious activity. With treason being a potential consequence of any suspicious activity, their future together is suddenly uncertain.

Will Kitty and James be able to overcome these obstacles and set a date for their wedding? Their story is inspired by the brave nurses and doctors from the first NHS hospital, the Trafford General, which opened after the end of World War II. This novel is perfect for fans of "Call the Midwife" and "The Nightingale Girls."
